Trapped Near a Corner

Trapped, near a corner where someone told me to be I think about why I want to be here, be now to be hurt like this they say it's love I have no safe word, no space to be heard But I love it is it too much? My mother doesn't understand what blank eyes she stares at me with while she watches him hitting her instead of me. She might later take me away, I'm tired of this but it could be worse to be with her is like a curse she didn't want when I was birthed
