Bully Parents

I thought i was the child you loved the one you tucked in every night
I thought i was the child you cared about caring bandages even in times where things felt right
When did i become so ugly and unwanted
Called names and unspoken to as if i murdered your parents
Treated and looked at like a problem with no earthly or spiritual solution 
All the times i cried and you looked at me like i was crying in the rain
All the times i wanted to speak and you looked at me like i spoke another language 
It still hurts, in the place where my heart is supposed to be
I stopped crying long ago
I stopped trying to talk a long time ago
I just hope that my kids wont look at me how i look at you
