Mental Torture

She left us all crying

Left us in the dark

As if we didn't matter

She left

She came back

She left again

She came back again

Left once more

And came back once more

I couldn't bare the tears of my family any longer

I began to hide

Whether she was there or not

It had become a habit

I was a mommy's girl,

But after that, how could I continue?

I get yelled at for no reason

I feel attacked

Why can't any of you be satisfied?!

Why is nothing I do good enough?!

What will it take?

To not feel like an outcast in the family?

To not feel like the burden in the house?

To no feel like the bad daughter?

How loud do I need to scream,

For you to listen?!

How many tears do I need to cry,

For you to hear me out?!

But it doesn't matter, you'll deny it all

This feeling of self-corruption…

This feeling of guilt…

This feeling of sadness…

Its mental torture

The day she left

Was the day

Everything came crashing

Down
