I’ve had a hard life <br />Not the hardest I’m sure <br />I was beaten and bruised <br />And my life took a detour <br />I was medicated and misunderstood <br />I was the problem not the cure <br />I was analyzed and patronized <br />No one took me seriously <br />I had dedicated my life <br />To pleasing the one who had done this to me <br />I was a monster in her eyes <br />A petty way for her display <br />Her shallow and self centered cries <br />Just an excuse to run away <br />To cause me pain in every way <br />Never was I, never will I <br />Be good enough for her <br />The loss of that kind of mother <br />Is a blessing and a curse <br />Still just a kid and don’t think <br />I’ll ever stop the hurt… <br />But no more will I be a victim <br />No more will I be like her <br />No more will I let what she’s done <br />Continue my detour<br /><br />Olivia Braun<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/detour-5/
