You thought
Your actions were
In the best interest
For me.
Never realizing
The damage
You're doing.
With your lies
To both
Of us.
And yet
When I confront you
With your actions.
You react like
I am attacking you
Physically
With my words.
Knowing
How I will react
To your tears
Blaming myself
For hurting you.
By sugarcoating
Traumatic events
That happened
Around us.
As if
I'm a delicate flower
That'll disintegrated
At the slightest pressure.
Do you realize
How much
I want to scream
At you:
"STOP
TREATING ME
LIKE THIS!"
But
Do not.
Knowing
You'll never understand
My reasons.
And you wonder
Why I don't come
To you
With my troubles.
Unless
It's the last resort
Available
Mom.
Having experienced
Several decades
Of your smothering love.
Treating me
Like a 4 year old child
Who had her mouth
Blown
Wide open
From electrical burns.
Well
That little girl is
All grown up
And has left home
Permanently
Mom.
