Tales of My Mother

Worms in my brain put there by your own ideologies

Dreams of escaping the prison you built for me

Never am I a child, but an object in your possession

Jealousy boiling up inside of you, creating an obsession 

 

Putting your own insecurities on your kin

Using your words like knives cutting through my skin

Using your fists to hammer into me as I attempt to block every swing

I only want to escape your grasp on my wings

 

I would attempt to struggle my way out of your clutches

But I am just a bug caught up in your web of egocentric tendencies

The insignificant nothing that dropped out of your uterus

A burden on your own very existence
