Mother Dearest Poem by achilles amelie magnolia

through the window
into unknown I hide away
I'll watch the children
walking from school
behind curtains and cardboard,
taped to the glass
I'll cry my heart out
to the illusions in front of me
a child that looks like me,
a teenager only years before me
it takes time they say,
to come out of your shell,
oh now i see
beseech me while my eyes bleach me,
what have I become
you've betrayed me to my last whim,
the last string's been cut
i'll leave someday, not today mother dearest,
you've hit me, again
in your lead isolation, forced school changes,
i'm so tired mother
you've lead me down the wrong path
once again and i'm done
i'll hide you away, in a little retiree home,
like you did me
i was scared of the dark
i cried every night, and now i'm not scared
i'm not scared of you,
simply just the dark, in a little dark room
i'll do the exact same to you
