Sophia Ramirez Poet Rhyme

Purple Silence

I was two years old
My mom got mad at me for crying
So she threw me in an ice cold bath

She turned the lights off
And she closed the door

I turned purple from screaming
But she chose not to hear me
That was my first time being scared of the dark

My tears fell into the water as I waited for her to come back

But then it was silent

My eyes look for her once more as I start to slip under..
I think I fell asleep because I don’t remember

Just as I start to close my eyes, I look up from the bottom of the tub and see light shining through the water

Then a face

 As I’m brought back to the surface, I see my mother. I’m coughing up water

“Mommy…!” 

She cried after that, I don’t know why
I hope I didn’t make her sad
I just wanted her to love me again
