I Remember

I remember being young
Happy in my innocence
Mindless of my ignorance
I didn't have a care in the world.

As I grew, my eyes opened
I began to see my mother
As she truly was
And that's when I met depression.
While she pretended to care
I began to realize that she didn't
And that she never really had
I would later find out just why.
She had wanted a daughter
So I disappointed her
I was rejected from birth
For being born a male.
She had tried to be
Rid of me from the start
She offered her child away
But my father halted her plans.
He gave me his unending support
Which she swore that I didn't deserve
Thus I grew up with her contempt
Which only fed my very own.

I remember growing up
With feelings of worthlessness
I learned to hate from my mother
To hate her, myself, and this world.
