To the monster who should have been my mother

Post by Redisfinallyfree »

YOU said I’m worthless,
but worthless I’m not.

You can take that hateful word
and put it somewhere to rot.

I know what I am made of.
I am stronger than you ever knew.

It took guts to survive and I’m glad I’m alive
and that is NO thanks to you.

You battered and bruised me. You often confused me.
You said me you loved but I knew.

Those words that you said, they filled me with dread.
For they never, ever were true.

How dare you call love a slap and a shove,
May your shame be forever on you.

You offend the word mother.
You were something other.

You gave pain, hate, and cursing.
And your profession was nursing!

On judgement day it will suck to be you.

By the daughter you should have loved.

My shoulders aren't big enough to carry the blame for the problems of the whole world, so, today I give myself permission to stop trying.

another beautiful truth
thank you for sharing

scars
A scar is the tattoo of a triumph to be proud of. It says the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you conquered the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. There is a beauty in my scars that I can see now.
