Inside the shadow's shadow

Come play with me Mommy!
You can be my favorite barbie
And I'll play with the ugly one
If you like...

Come play with me, Mommy!
We can laugh and be happy
Just like
When Daddy was alive!

No answer.
Just tears.

Come play with me, Mommy!
Forget that old mean man
That's drinking downstairs
And smoking cigerettes.
We can forget him,
Forever!

Come play with me, Mommy.
Come play ponies and
Live in a world
Where we understand
The whinnies and grunts!

No answer.
Just another swig
Of her wine cooler.

Come play with me, Mom.
Come sit on Gramma's cold
Hard floor
And close your eyes
And pretend all's well!

Come on, Mom.
Come play with me.
I swear I'll be good
And try my best to make you smile.

No answer,
Just an annoyed flick
Of her rusted hand.

Mom, come look at my A,
And this smiley sticker
That the teacher gave me.
Why can't you
Look like that?

Where did your smiles go?

Come talk with me, Mom.
Come tell me what's wrong,
And hug me when I tell you
How much I hate you.

Apologize, Mom.

"Come to bed with me, Sexy"
He said.
And I did.

"Are you going to hit
That or what?"
He asked.
And I did.

"Drink up, little lady,
Before it gets warm,"
He said.
And I did.

"The back seat's fine,
Just clear out that junk
And lay down,"
He said.
And I did.

Come look at me, Mom.
Come see what you've done.
Look at who I am.
Don't worry, I won't hide anything.
You can see every scar
Every tear
Every drop of blood.
I want you to see.

Come on, Mom.
Come face what you've created.
Come watch me as I cry,
As I hit the bong,
As I pass out drunk
In a stranger's bed.

Take a look
And see
I'm you.

Thanks, mom.

*Note: Glad to report that's all in the past, and I'm living my own life, now and forever.*

Thanks. I have no idea what made me, it sort of just happened.
Didn't even know I had the guts to post it.

Thanks again!

P.S. I'm just fine, thanks

this is powerful...
I thank God I've not gone through most of that. And I live my own life...
I hate that that was in your past, but I'm glad things are different now.

Always, Alyssa

Thanks, guys. It means alot to me that even though this isn't dressed up in pretty words, it's still appreciated. That means...well, more than I can express...to me.

-Hugs to all-,
