Abused

I was abused
Only five years old
So very confused

It's a game
We will play
Shh. Don't tell anyone
He would always say

I was abused
Only fourteen years old
Still so confused

Mom was so cold
You ****. You whore
Sleeping around
My heart is sore

I was abused
Thirty three years old
My whole person, bruised

A mom to six
Twice married now
I will be a good mom
I made that vow

It's quiet at night
The children all Sleep
I lay in bed awake
The fears flood, I weep

Today the sun shines
I awake from laughs
My beautiful children there
I am not my past

Who Am I

I have borderline
I have bipolar
I have PTSD
I have anxiety
I have scars

I'm not abusive
I'm not manipulative
I'm not cold
I'm not crazy
I'm not attention seeking

I'm hurt
I'm sad 
i'm lonely 
I'm scared
I'm abused

See me
Notice me

I am smart
I am caring
I am loving
l am empathetic
I am Me
