UGLYHOOD.
Dear mother how sweet u look
in veil of ivory white,
With bouquet of red
to hide the thorny prejudice,
that fills ur heart inside
You words are laced with sweetness so pure
the undertone is grim
How hard u try to hurt me so
with malice so steeped within
I waver I crumble at ur feet
not knowing what you do,
Ur hideous face in scheming wake
still hidden,from my view
I bend I break and mend again
for u to break me still
you call it love ,I thinks it love
ur words don’t hurt me till
I realize from years passed by
my wound is bleeding dry
I’m watching shadows in the dark
they scare me and I cry
I ache I ache my body hurts
my mind is destitute
how have I been,so very blind
unto my uglyhood
yes that is what I call it now
for that is what it was
those days have since long gone by
but left me bruised and scarred
I want to fill this great big void
under my flesh so deep
And now I know I cant stop the blood
I,cannot even sleep
How did u leave me so alone
when I was what u are
Buried within a 9 month womb
u were my solace my mother
Did u once care to look inside
and vanquish those demons I felt
The ones that bruised my shattered strength
and made my life force ebb
into a corpse so brittle and torn
you left me here die.
“Mother Mother”how strange the word
it fills me with comfort now
when I hear my child he speakes ,
it sounds differently somehow
You have not been nor could u be
the one that protected me
For all u did was live ur life
I swept up your misery.
I scrubbed and cleaned and scrubbed again
my skin peeling from my soul
I tried to make me one again
a complete and conscious whole
But nay I tell u it did not work
it failed me yet this time
I’ve seen through u your tattered view
and absolution of crime
You were to me a most beautiful
queen most precious from above
there was a time I’d give anything
to be secure in your love
but that was then and this is now
u did not answer my calls
i’ve somehow survived this birth this life
i built up my broken walls
I find no door, no warmth ,no hearth
to keep me safe and sound
all that i see is a broken bridge
a tattered view of love
You will not accept and still don’t concede
your blood it has gone cold
You are infact my vial of poison
with which I will grow old
I will not retract my fatal truth
nor bend will I to ur bow
I weep for u I hurt for u
but feel no sorrow now
Oh go away u wretched thing
my uglyhood now my state
and leave me mourning a childhood lost
the mother of a child was my fate.
