The Evil Monster Who Lives Here

I am lost and I really never found myself. I was existing in my life, With a monster. I was having nightmares at night and, Having to relive them every day. I was under her control, a prisoner, In my house by this monster whom I call mom. The one person we are all told to trust, But not when they chase you with a knife. I knew she would kill me if I stayed, So I left and since that day I, Have no longer called her mom. Joining the Army meant, Freedom and independence away from her. This means everyone in my life, Finally had my back. I trusted them and, They trusted me, Something I never had with her. Then the phone call everyone dreads, And yet no one wants to hear. I laid my father to rest, Realizing this monster and my sister killed him. Monsters are monsters they can’t hide, But there has to be consequences. Consequences are the end result for the, Ramifications of the horror, That they bestowed on our family. I have made my peace. There is nothing I could have done to stop this. As I look and see the TV a monster and, My sister chained like animals going into the Court House. Finally, consequences. My truth will indeed set me free, As the chains fall from my wrists, I hear the jury say ‘GUILTY’. RIP Joshua Hudnall 1991-2018 27 years old Liver Failure The TV show ‘Evil Lives here’ on ID channel Episode called ‘ Let her rot’ When they did the autopsy they had evidence that the father was poisoned . In my opinion I feel the Liver failure was due to the many beatings by his mother.

Hello Shirley, I do not blame you for not trusting your mother. I felt the same way with my dad. He was the one that gave me a hard time growing up. Hugs.

Hello Shirley. Yes I read your explanation. Your father was the hero. It must have been rough on you back then. So you and your father were very close. You are welcome. Hugs.

Sorry not my family. There's explanation at the bottom of the poem it was from TV series on the ID channel. It was indeed a true story. You must have ESP cuz I just wrote a poem this morning about my mother called my mother my enemy so I can guarantee you that one is definitely about my mother and the hero in that poem is my father.... you are scary girl. Haha. Thanks for the comments.
