Mother Dearest

From the mouth of babes,
A mother hears the brutal truth.

The stinging poison seeps into mother dearests ear screaming, scratching, sqealing as it rips through her brain.

She hears a truth of hatred, abuse, and cruelty.

She hears her babe preach to her as if the fourteen year old was infact her mom. Just as she was four years ago.

'You kill me slowly, pushing me away. I read of perfect relationships and think

Fairytales

I listen to these walls whisper to me as they echo off the screams you bestowed upon me... The screams of threat... The scream From the mouth of babes,
A mother hears the brutal truth.

The stinging poison seeps into mother dearests ear screaming, scratching, sqealing as it rips through her brain.

She hears a truth of hatred, abuse, and cruelty.

She hears her babe preach to her as if the fourteen years old was mom. Just as she was four years ago.

'You kill me slowly, pushing me away. I read of perfect relationships and think

Fairytales

I listen to these walls whisper to me as they echo off the screams you bestow upon me

The screams of threat

The screams of hurt

The scream of death

You yell bitch at your own daughter and expect her to go to school undamaged the next day

You scream in a speeding car, the car going so fast it gets easier for you to lose control. You scream of killing me and yourself right then and there.

You tell a 12 year old of hurt she understands all to well because of you

You scream in a speeding car, the car going so fast it gets easier for you to lose control. You scream of killing me and yourself right then and there.

You tell a 12 year old that you felt alone so you attempted suicide just weeks before

You turn a first grader against you so fast that she hates someone for the first time.

You manipulated me out a a better life more than once.

I have little feeling for you other than fear, rage, and pitty.

Are you happy now mother dearest?

You are the center of attention now.

Like you have always wanted.

Go ahead cry, but tho musn't dare defend thy self! For thou hast refused me that all these years...

I hope you drown in those worthless crocodile tears of mistrust, exaggeration, and belittlement...

It would just cut everyone else's suffering shorter.

Oh and by the way, what promise have you backed away from?

The promise that you won't become your mother and give up, treat my like a slave, and become addicted to attention, caffeine, and cigarettes.

So much for a partneship.'
