fetal position. <br />broken soul. <br />heart thats shattered. <br />but she swallows pain whole. <br />until 12: 57am. <br />when he's out with the other her. <br />the onli time to weep. <br />in peace with out feeling guilty. <br />because she can't be heard. <br />cuz us kids r supposed to be sleep. <br />but this night nocturnal state is not on my side. <br />so i want to go to her bed to reside. <br />and there on the cold floor she lies. <br />from the room door i peek. <br />silently because she would surely deny. <br />this action that i believe my eyes to to see. <br />i want to hold her. <br />and now i cry. <br />aloud? <br />r u crazi thats weak. <br />at least thats wut she teach. <br />and if i were to drift. <br />her sobbing would wake me. <br />im goin to my room now. <br />oh no i trip. <br />no she rises and begins to flip. <br />this is never good. <br />no i'll get whipped. <br />because he treats her like shit. <br />but when he returns she'll love him with every bit. <br />of strength she has left. <br />then he'll return to the other one. <br />leaving her with threats. <br />and i'll continue to pay for his shortcomings for years to come. <br />but not now, cuz i no longer bleed. <br />inhumane is wut she's made of me. <br />i won't take another lash. <br />for u being lacked as one of his priorities. <br />and damn she used to be my queen. <br />now my sweet is the past i love to leave behind.<br /><br />jasmine margetson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-mama-tale-of-taking-the-blame/
