Smiling On the Outside
Long day
Freak, loner, emo
All the names they call me
When no one is around.
I walk in the house she’s
Smiling
It’s never good when she smiles
You’re late
That is my greeting to bad I’m
On
Time. She comes closer to me
I cower back into the corner
I know what’s coming I prepare for
The
Hit. When it comes it
comes hard, harder than normal
Five minutes later she walks away
As if nothing happened.
Outside
Dogs are barking
Kids laughing
A normal world
Why can’t my world be like that?
Instead I’m
Dying
Every day. I need out.
She doesn’t treat me
How a mother should.
Hits yells kicks
On
A good day
Bad days I feel like
I should be dead
The
Worst part
No one knows
People suspect
But do nothing
I want so badly to
Let someone
Inside
So they can understand
What I go through.
The pain
The rejection.
