She was expected
to sit
in the shadow
of her mother’s unhappiness
and knit scarves
out of the fibers of her backbone
to comfort her mom
and if she dropped a stitch
she was whipped
with words
and ignored
until
she became useful again

It is odd how it takes years to see and face stuff.. she had me convinced when I was young that she was this incredible parent… and I just learned to think that something about my existence was very wrong …
