    a life after death

    Part one: the child

    I know what crying is
    You may think me a liar as i am only eight
    But all i see now are visions of evil memories
    Running through my mind they drive me crazy
    Reminding me all the time of all that she put me through
    The beatings relentlessly given
    The love i was never offered to take
    The sexual abuse and the rape
    I wonder if she was paid
    I wouldnt be surpised
    Her drugs were her first prioriety
    I know she blames me for all that has gone wrong
    Things would be better if I weren’t born at all
    To stop the blame and the pain
    I must die today
    Eight years of what would be called life
    I call it death
    I call it abuse
    And i call it neglect
    What i will call the next step
    A life after death

    Part two: the mother

    I can"t beleive i didn't see
    All she wanted was love from me
    She gave me that love
    And so much more
    All i did was push her out the way
    But she never was in the way
    I was just i monster
    You know you think to yoursleves it's true
    You don't say it
    But i see it in your eyes
    Now as i look at the eight year old
    She's laying cold and pale on the the mattress
    I realize the life i gave her i took back like a fool
    She may have put the physical blade in her heart on her own
    But i put a blade there a long time ago

    Part three: the note

    All i wanted was your love
    All i needed was your love
    What i gave was my all
    All took was your blame
    Your shame
    Your pain
    Now you can take back the things i took
    You want them so badly
    Now have them and more
    Take extra blame
    Take even more shame
    Add on to your pain
    I am going to a place were they aren't needed
    Love is waiting there for me
    Keep all the love you have
    If there is any in your heart
    I don't need or want it anymore

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE FROM SOMETHING DESPERATELY PAINFUL TO SOMETHING HEALED AND COMFORTING? YOU GRIEVE AND THEN BELIEVE. I THINK YOU ARE DOING THIS IN YOUR POEMS. MAY YOUR METAMORPHOSIS MAKE YOU A BUTTERFLY THAT FLYS OVER HER PAST.

    you can make your world go round.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
