You ask why we haven’t spoken

The past? A mask, don’t fucking bask.

Words a glitch? Taken a switch? Sales pitch.

I sit and I stitch and I stitch and I stitch and I stitch and I stitch and I stitch

Still a bitch

Remember the times I lay on the floor, begging for love but all I got was a roar?

Still, remember that imposter of a father

But I the manipulative bitch

Cling to sisters, all try to ignore, insults turn object, physically thrown but don’t leave us alone.

Leave us, come back, you had a bad day; I hurt you because I love you, so see it’s ok.

So I try to think hard of reasons to love you. I love mommy because that’s what daughters do to people they were birthed too.

That time the door locked and I stood in the snow and I slammed the door you the only one home

That time I ran but you were there, grabbing my arm, screaming don’t you fucking dare.

That time I locked myself in my room screaming and sobbing I hate you. But I hated myself, more than anyone knew, when you are told again and again and again and again and again you are nothing, well shit must be true. I deserved this shit, didn’t I? Manipulative and hated, a bitch who’s unstable, 

who is able to raise a child with an anxiety label?
