I see everything but the world doesn’t see me

I had a dream

A dream about her again last night

I can’t see her face anymore

When I wake up, I can’t remember

Do you remember how she looked like?

When her face wasn’t swollen

And her arms weren’t full of bruises

I don’t understand 

It’s like you’re trying so hard to hurt me

To hurt us

“Don’t worry, I am going to do better

From now onwards, I am going to keep you safe”

How, by moving out?

You should have left this place years ago

I can’t believe you made us go through this again

Actually, I can

Of course, I can

You’re full of rage and I can still smell it

You’re hurting this woman

This woman you’re hurting is my mother

Tell me

Why haven’t you changed?

Tell me

I like details

“Honestly, I’m angry

I didn’t want to hurt you or her, I still don’t

There’s no reason for this to end badly

There’s no reason for these hallways with no exits

Excuse my language, everything I learned

I learned from my father

My father was the meanest of them all

And then he disappeared

By the way

I am not unaware of the obvious cliché here

Being…not a happy childhood”
