Blindsided By
through out the years
seemed to be 
constantly blindsided by 
backhanded compliments
made that were fuelled by 
pent up resentments...

Backhanded
“All you can be is all you can be,”
damning with faint praise

A lover, not a girl to wed
—left hand falsely raised

Cry

Cry is all that I can do
Tears that must be hid from you
Broomsticks slashed across my back
Violence flowing right on track

For now all I do
Is cry in my bed
