Suppose to

The good advice 

of a mother is 

suppose to be

Understanding 

And teaching 

Their kids 

How to live life 

Without fear

But mine isn’t

Like that she 

Teaches me

The opposite

How to live in fear 

And to please

Everyone but myself.

Hurt and hatred 

It’s all I seem to feel towards 

Her

These days.

She knows how abusive my 

Dad

Is 

And she still wants me

“To suck it up”

And “deal with it”.

She wants me 

To live with him.

I resent

Both of 

Them.

I wrote this poem when I was depressed and very angry with my parents. And I still am but the difference is that I try to focus more on the good than the bad.
