Love? marks (med story/poem)

"you aren't worth it"
you hated my father!
for cheating... and beating...

and now, you two are through

"go to hell!"
but, what about me?
why did he affect you?
why must you make his mistakes?

each day...
i come home from school
then the verbal and physical pain comes

you take out the medal
and go wild...
my little body is nothing to your strength
"wasn't this fun?"

"hunnie... you know i love you..."
then i have to go to school the next day...
wearing those marks as if they were...
an outfit

please tell me...
why, must you?

"their just a few scratches, grow up!"
do you have to wear them?
do you have to cover your body?

"come here... let me help you"
leave me alone...
you told me...
you'll be here for me?!

stop the lies...

you love me?!

hmm....

you know
each night i before i go to bed
i think about what you have told me...
it kills my heart
that you my own mother would be like this

i make a pool of tears soo i may drowned...
but each morning i tend to wake up
for some silly reason..

please mother just,

look at my back
just

look at my legs...
"they really aren't that bad"
what are these...

should i consider them your "love" marks?
