Devoted Children 240621
TW: Psychological, physical, emotional and sexual abuse and violence
The mother with the appetite for everything Wanting the blood, sweat, and tears The joy, sadness, fear, loneliness and love To be your everything by being nothing for you Never truly being a mother Treating your life as a joke Your existence being nothing, unless it has a use You were only born to feed her Made to quench the thirst of her ego A bond welded from devotion and idolization Manipulated into seeing her as some sort of savior Taught that she would protect us from anything and everything As long as it does not interfere with her happiness We cut and bleed for you mother We swallow the pills of your wisdom and truth We clench our wet eyes shut Hiding from the reality of what you truly are We gave you our lives We gave you everything Because of your happiness, As you have taught us, Is the most important.
