Not to Blame

Not to Blame

Most of your life

You lived with pain

And, many days

You simply went insane.

Lost and alone

With your demons

Trying your best to

Understand their meaning.

A motherly love

Very seldom felt

All I needed was a hug

Instead, I got the belt.

A child of five

I learned how to survive

Hidden in my room

I learned how to deny.

Now as an adult

I’ve understood with time

It was not your fault

Or mine.
