“Run away”

That's what they say

“It's how you get the pain to go away”

So I ran until my mind went black

I ran until my lungs burned

And my legs quaked 

I fell into a ball

I crumbled to the ground

I Screamed and Cried

I tried to let it all out

In reality you can never escape 

If all your crying for your Mother to change

“Your being manipulative”

“Your being lazy”

“You just want attention”

That last one was right

But all wanted was for her to listen to my cries

How Id had a bad day

Or my friend had been mean

How I was seeing my assaulter In my dreams

“Its just made up in your head”

Is what she said

“Your lying”

“I’d never let a daughter of mine be hurt like that”

But I was

And I felt crazy

For believe it was true

That I was assaulted 

Like many other in many different rooms 

Now I have to live trying to figure out what was real and what was fake

While trying not to shake

As I write this poem as a message to mothers

To please believe your beloved daughters
