Mother...

No protection

No defence

Just crippiling words

And no sympathy for my thoughts

All the 'playful shaming'

Holds true in my mind

The words to put me down

Work every time

 Such a dangerous difference

between you and dad

Because he cares

and its like youre not even there

So no, you cant hug me

and no, i dont care

because being around you

leads to nothing but despair

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
