We are not blood but
I was taken in when I
Had no family
But you were not there
You could not see who I was
Or what made me, me
What made me such a
Emotional wild card
But it was all you
I mirror your outbursts
Damaging objects and those
Around me with words
That I always come to
Regret, unable to take back
Raging confusion
Why do I hurt the
Way that you hurt me dad
Why do I attract
Men like you who feel
The need to weigh me down and
Degrade me the way
You did when I was
Helpless, unable to speak
Or fight you off so
All I could do was
Cry, desperate to get away
You towering me
I know those insults
I could repeat them on the
Back of my hands and
If pushed to that point
Reenact all that you've shown
Feeling the violent
Emotions build up
To the same outbursts that you
Threw onto young me
It scares me so much
That I attract negative
Energies fuming
In bad intentions
And that I could be like you
I didn't ask for
This tiny body
Big heart, exploding feelings
Uncontrollable
