My mind is racing
My blood is boiling
How dare you say
I'm mental!
When you are the one
Making me so
How can I be normal
When everything I do
You detest
The cruel words you use
Infront of me,
Your hands that shake me,
Your voice you scream at me,
How can I be mental?
Soon as I wake from slumber
You are already yelling at me
All I did was wake up
You wonder why I don't do anything?
Because I'm afraid of you
I know I'm not perfect
I know I have ADHD
I know I suffer from PTSD
But you are not helping me get better
Your making my depression worse
My sons even know it
Everytime I want to play or do
Something for or with them
You come at me
I'm their mom yet you
Take my role and I feel
Like I'm my sons sister
Rather than mother
You constantly remind me
Of my forced abortions
Which you know hurts
More than anyhting because
I didn't want to kill my babies
Yet you always bring it up
Even infront of my sons
You wonder why
I don't talk to you??
You wonder why
I never tell you my plans??
If it wasn't for money
And my sons
We would have been gone
Sooner
