evaporate

it comes
you come
to me
with me
and i should
should be
happy
thrilled
but i feel
miserable
rotten
like trash
each time
every time
all the
time
cant deal
dont 
want to 
move
want to 
sleep
need to
fold up
curl
into a 
ball
disappear
evaporate
leave me
be
but you come 
for a 
visit
refuse to 
leave
and now
i know
im reminded

im not a mother.
 period

and then 
i forget

wait for it

wait in line
a level of frustration
no matter how hard
try
patient
be patient
i cant
bring 
myself
calm down
dont yell
dont shout
take a number
explain
next line
new counter
back in line
paperwork
take a seat
wait
blinking
numbers
minutes
hours
waiting
so slow
empty counters
patient
number called
phew
wrong line
back to seat
wait in line
called
finally

accomplish
nothing

Night Before

its not my night
wont be my day
not my event
no smile 
pasted on my face

no dress
no shoes
no hair
no makeup
no dip
no manicure
no family
no cameras
no video
no food
no friends
no butterflies
no excitement

its not my night
wont be my day
not my event
no smile
pasted on my face

no aisle
no chairs
no wine
no hands
no water 
no door
no pictures
no hat
no dance
no joy
no song
no hands
no limo

its not my night 
wont be  my day
not my event
no smile 
pasted on my face

Broken Human Being


do u think they ever cared about u?
of course
they do in their demented way                   
oh
im not naive
so maybe they r just doing the best they know how
i know they love me
maybe not my mom
shes not capable
but my dad does
thats something
yeah well its not
its like if I love someonebut have never expressed it
what good is that??
i do love
i love lots
so much
my heart is bursting w emotion
just not that anyone can handle
so there is hope for u
but i cant feel it from others
so theres no hope
do u know how mushtherapy ive been in
and the dif kinds
yeah my hands and legs so i couldnt escape
thats when my parents and the psychiatrist were on the same pagei got put on meds they were gonna start taking care of me and paying attentionto me
there was a suicide plan
and then the next day the hospital called and said they had akidney for my mom for transplant
and once again i was forgotten about
started hoarding my pills. never took them. went out of control.ran away and no one noticed me
my mom was so sick
sound familiar?
and u think im loveable
im a hater
the only ppl that i let in are children
i believe u can be loveable
if u wanted
well theres only burnt ashes
u can thank my dad for that
hes just crazy
that hes incapable ofshowing love and being there for me
and being my father
when he is the onlyparent we ever really had
and ive have had tolearn not to rely on him or anyone for that matter
when really all iwanted or need is a hug or an i love u but he doesnt even call or look at me ortalk to me at all
he just ignores me
like i dont exist
so yeah, its prettyhard to function alone in this world
no i dont win
bc i should be a biggirl and use my fake tough girl act and just deal w it
and move on w my life
and stop letting themaffect me so much and ruin me to the core
and i have accomplishednothing
i am crippled
