Forgive Me,Why
I have spent years trying to find the answers I long to have.
I am still clueless as to why.
why did you do the things you did ?
I was your daughter
your own flesh and blood
yet you robbed me
time and time again
everytime you said or did something
another piece of me was taken
I will never get that back.
It will always be lost to me
I was our child,
the one you were supposed to love forever.
But forever must have seemed just a bit to long
or maybe just to much for you to handle
the names you called me
the times you laughed at me
and the threats that made me quiver in my bed with fear
haunt me still
Years later you sit and ask me how you are supposed to forgive,
for what I have done ?!
forgivness for what ?
being a child
being born?
Being too loud,
too quite
too bad,
to much to handle ?
Or just being your child
that was born to you?
Today is a new day
tomorrow hasn’t come yet
and yesterday is behind me
but for today,
I will not indulge,
your abusive
manipulative
cruel
game you wish to play.
Nothing more,
are you going to steal from me
this day.
