You Made Me

Not now, not ever
My questions left unanswered 
Avoidant mother

Instructed, "Wait here."
Alone & cold on marble
Linda, get your child

Abusive parent
Slamming doors, breaking the glass 
Weeping aftermath

Don't worry, don't fret
Best to keep mouth shut instead
Promising to lie

Don't move, don't engage 
Passive aggressive response 
Locked in a heart's cage 

Love is more than words
Bare minimum grace giver 
Better aborted

Bloody evening night
Escaping through a window 
Sleeping above it

Locked out of this home
Decorating large boxes
Collapsing her dreams

Folding up the sheets
Nightmares haunting me for weeks
The bill was too high

Unconventional 
Burning bridges through & through
Reflecting madness

Knocking out their teeth
Imaginary divorce 
Hoping for rescue

Prince charming awaits 
Alluring club & Kool aid 
Teaching misfortune 

Responsible child
Not asking for help needed
Disappointed me

Soul re-parenting
Blasphemy to human race
Coping escapes

Unknown DNA
Hating half, dreaming other
Tongues pull the trigger

Moving far away
Missing what was never there
Lacking attention

Discovering me
An entrepreneur of peace
Turning fears to speech

Identity chaser
Elegant knickknack clutter
Dissociate 

All alone at night
Heaviness breaking my chest
Confident of time

Lay down stubborn pride
Knowing my internal worth 
Now perfect timing

Not everything works
Systems of hard oppression 
Tucked away hermit

Half of this hurt
Blossoming while in manure 
Never touching hands

Calling out this name
Identifying the sun
We're no longer one
