Child
Location
"That's my child!"
She's yelling at me as if i don't know
how he got into this world.
I'm not dumb.
I'm just a kid,
and your yelling
won't make me grow up any faster.
I'm actually afraid
to pick up the phone for her now.
I'd never seen her act that way.
She'd always been loving,
caring,
always told me I was
worth something.
But something got into her,
and she snapped,
over something that I
Have never even began
to fix my lips to say.
and
I
cried.
I don't know what it is
about me that causes them to
think I'm comparable
to the spawn of satan
to make them believe
I'm less than human,
and to scream at me
and call me things,
that an adult shouldn't even say
to another adult,
let alone a child.
and
I
scream
I scream and cry
and I whine and I blame
I blame it all on myself
as if I asked to be put here
and I know I didn't
but I still blame myself.
And now, the blame
is being put on me,
not just by my dad,
but my grandmother,
too.
I'll only ever
write or speak this,
once.
I will throw it away.
I will forget it.
Because they weren't
worth my time,
anyways.
