Abusive

Mommy told me today , " No one likes you!"

Why does mommy hate me?

I just want to be loved,

And to be treated as a person.

Mommy locked me in a closet, alone in the dark,

" No food for the devil!" she cried

She left me there, days turned into months,

Momma, I'm so hungry!

She opened the door, and let out a frown,

" Come out now!" she shouts, and I do.

She takes me by the hands,

Put behind my back,

And gives me one hard SMACK!

" Momma!" I cry,

But she just stands nearby.

She takes a steely blade,

And holds in her hands,

" What's that momma?" I ask, fear in me.

She doesn't respond, just throws it into my little chest.

I cry, why momma?

I clutch my little bear, sewn into my dress, where Momma up it,

When she was happy.

Was I not enough?

Was I a bad girl?

I close my eyes, and say goodbye.
