Big Mistake

This is a poem about a good friend of mine. She was abused and never trusted anyone until we met. She was scared until she told why she had never trusted anyone and why she trusted me. Please respect this. This poem is her story.

What is Love?

Love had left my heart as soon as I was brought into this unforgiving planet

My father looks at my mistaken life and treated me like a forgotten pet

My mother would say "I wish you were never born"

All of my siblings would laugh at my misery as if their happiness had been worn

I had no one in my life to love nor trust at all

So I would wake up every day to pray for an angel’s call

It doesn’t even matter anymore

My childhood was nothing but hell forevermore

My life was then filled with so much pleasure and white lines

A man had owned me and forced me to please as many as I could

Until another with some friends wanted more than I can handle and then beat me with wood

His buddies wanted to make sure I was no longer breathing and lit me on fire

I wished I had died but my heart continued to beat while my skin was no longer soft

I wake from an unforgettable nap and see my mother’s tears

And I realized what she fears

My mother won’t love me but is too scared to lose me
