self hate blame

diakathiam2 Comments

Mama, I’m sorry.

I am not the perfect daughter you have always dreamed of.

Instead I am your nightmare.

Praying to God for me

While I squeeze your heart, till it begins to bleed black

You approach me with kindness

Your words melting into my ears,

But mama,

I am broken.

I can never be fixed.

Eleven years of pain was enough

The things you did for me

Ungrateful child, I am

Mama,

I beg you,

Keep on,

Praying for me.

For God is on your side,

And will be on mine…

For sure.
