invisible mom

invisible mom

A Poem by Ashe Conten

Mom?
I can't see you
But I know where you are
And honestly
You're not that far;
So back away
From what you made
I will wait
For you to tell me my name.

Did you steal the light in my youth?
Do you know all I've gone through?
All those things you said
They were never true
But now I know 
this because of you

You screwed up my head
You ruined my brain
All my broken bones, 
From playing your game
The rules never made 
Any sense to me.
And now I see why:
I was deceived.

You need to listen to me when I say,
"I am finally free!
I am not yours anymore,
I belong to me."
But I still hear the question
in the back of my brain
I still need to know, 
What is my name?

Damn right I'm angry;
You drove me crazy.
With all the lies,
The faked smiles,
Why wasn't I allowed to cry?
You took from me,
my first years of life.
Was I ever a child?
was I ever alright?
I won't let you try
To just say goodbye
I can't leave 'cause the question remains
What do you call me?
What is my name?

Thank you so much!
I liked the question in the end. I can feel your emotions and also the silence of your words unsaid. Well done. Beautifully written.
