invisible momA 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?
