To MotherA Poem by Pale RoseWords may not break bones
But they broke my heart. My miserability amplified By your miser tongue. The hope of a small child dashed Against a wall daily, repeatedly.

Until you are buried deep Within my heart, I will always be your little girl-- Subhuman, undeserving of what could’ve been. © 2011 Pale RoseAuthor's Note
