My beloved mother

Is it really that hard to praise ,to be grateful.
Will it be the same if it was my brother or sister who did . Was I  just a nuisance to everyone. I have come to fear quarrels . I have been called a coward , insensitive ,too emotional, reckless,careless ,
But do they know 
She said i can't bear a little pain 
Does she know i choke myself every night
Does she know i sacrificed my dream just to be called hopeless
Does she know i burnt myself because of her painfull words 
Does she know i have cried and cried for just being accepted 
Does she know i yearned for her affection 
Does she know she is my whole world 
Does she know i am afraid of hating her
Does she know i am scared that she will know i am in pain
Does she know that i screamed in silence just for her warmth 
Does she know how cold I felt in summer 
Does she know i hate myself 
Does she know i tried to kill myself 
Does she know that i was devastated because I even failed at dying 
Does she know 
Does she ever 
Did she ever tried did she 
Did she know that her words always echoed louder in my ears
Does she
Was I loved 
Was I hated 
I don't know 
But I know 
I yearned for it 
When did it turn this way 
I donot remember anymore
I myself think 
I was just an extra 

When i cried she said i am weak 
When i tried  she said is that it
When i won she said what's so special
When i complain she said i was just crazy
No matter what I do I was called stupid 
When everyone admires me she said i was nothing 
And 

When I talk she said i am annoying
