*•*•*•*•*
they don't know what they're saying
when they tell me
i'm just like you,
mommy's little girl.
you with holes punched
in your heart,
from the fists
you let him throw at you.
you with a soul like ash,
shriveled by the acidic words
i watched him burn you with
you with his hands on your throat,
on your body,
black and blue,
black and blue,
black and blue.
you with a monster
sleeping next to you.
the one you heard get up every night
and let crawl into my bed anyways.
they don't know what they're saying
when they tell me
i'm just like you
because i'll be stronger than you, mom
just like i know
you need me to be.
i promise.
