Poetry inspired by family and especially the mother
A Poem About the Family’s Hold
Alone, depressed, lifeless
Not capable to think for myself
Bound, broken, always expected, never displeasing
Chameleon, performer, slave, bondage
Crushed, broken, pieces of nothingness.
A struggle……Glimmer of hope!
Victory in sight………Freedom at last!
Then the claws reach out
No air, no breath
Suffocating, strangling
Lifeless, depressed, alone
Bound, Broken
Bondage
Once again.

Poem about Mom
You gave me this life
Then, you took part
In shattering my spirit
into many pieces
Stripping my identity, myself,
my being
My life has always been
Only about YOU.

Another Poem about Mom
Who am I?
What am I like?
What do I like & enjoy?
What are my favorites?
What fashion do I prefer?
What things do I like to do?
What church do I go to?
What songs do I sing?
What thoughts do I think?
What life do I lead?
Doesn’t matter.
Ask Kay. She knows.

You brought me into this world
Your little girl
You made me the reflection
Of all you seemed to be
Pushing, prodding,
Forcing, lying
Hating me all the while
Tearing my spirit
Piece by piece
Till all of you
Was in all of me.

I don’t understand why I’m not allowed
freedom to make choices
For some reason, God gave everyone choices
but me.
I guess life is meant for me to be that way.
But why? I’d rather be dead!

About the Mom’s Manipulations
Please don’t be nice to me, mom
Stop buying all these pretty clothes
Stop saving me from life’s mistakes
Please, let choices be mine to make
Your killing me with your kindness, mom
Don’t hurt me anymore
I only need space and air to breathe
Please, mom, just let me be ME.
