Forgive the Child of the Dark

'Awaken my child! Awaken I say!'
'Night has come and swallowed the day!'
I open my eyes
The wave of tears swell for me to cry
And yet I cannot feel the salty sweet relief
Then I remember how they burned my eyes with their claws and teeth
'Get up you fool! Get up right now!'
I sit up and realize I’ve been sleeping on a black rain cloud
'Tonight is the night! We’ll rule the sky!'
I slowly stand up, reabsorbing the truth that I had died
I feel the silvery current rise under my clawed toes
Behind me my black hair whips and flows
'My child, my child, your darkness grows!'
'Your anger, hatred, and sadness all harnessed in the seed I sowed'
My heart hurts as I remember all the sadness and pain
How my parents nearly drove me insane
'Get out! We don’t want you here!'
'Pack your bags!' They would jeer
Their words cut me deep
Deeper than how far into quicksand I could seep
For that is what they were to me
A monstrous mouth
swallowing my self esteem and happiness, only later to throw me up
'Get out you *****! We’re tired of you!'
'Go run off with your precious boyfriend and your pathetic friends too!'
The memories run through me like electricity
Then I feel a power grow and ferment deep inside of me
Inside I think but one thing
No one knows what it’s like to be me
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me
Instead they feast upon my mind until my sanity breaks and flees
Oh how I wish for the empty minds of the dead
But I hear and understand all these words instead
'You think you’ve got it bad? Well I’ve got it worse'
I won’t play that game until I’m riding as the guest of honor in a hearse
The dark rotten hurt consumes my body
Then I begin my devious plotting
I will make them hurt, I will make them writhe
I will make them know the true meaning of being alive
Send them my sadness, send them my rage
Send them the abuse I suffered in seventh and eighth grade
Send them my secret hurt, my broken heart
Send them the feeling of life being torn apart
Send them loneliness, send them rejection
But most of all send them perfection
I was perfect, I was pretty
And yet I deserve their pity
Locked away all day
Deceit and rape were always one step away
'She has to be anorexic, no one is that thin!'
Everything about me seemed to be a sin
My rage exploded, black lightning filled the sky
Below me I heard the people scream and cry
'Well done child, you have defeated your quarry'
And yet all I can say is: 'I’m sorry…'

i'm sure this was a sad write for you. you've conveyed your pain and anger very well. it's been said that time heals all wounds...not sure if its true, but it's been said. maybe some time will heal some of your wounds...i hope it does.

As I read that last line I felt my heart sang deep inside my chest.... it's like I felt your pain mixed with my own.... and I love the lines
"I was perfect, I was pretty
And yet I deserve their pity"
Those two lines tie everything together!!!
And when you said the seventh and eighth grade you hit a spot with me, thats when alot of bad stuff happened to me too. |
