[Warning--trigger: abuse]
You say you love me
You lie, my heart screams
You say you won't hurt me
Better stay two arm lengths away
What scarier?
An empty Wal-Mart?
A Wal-Mart full of people?
It is a toss up
A pan dropped on the floor
My heart races for an hour
Never been in combat
Must be crazy
Not abuse at all
Just a really bad kid
Fear, blood and pain
Perfectly normal childhood
Not allowed to complain
Continuous sacrifice
Everyone else more important
Must do as they wish
The tired greyness
Millstone around my neck
Locked in my own mind
Unable to speak
Must be crazy
Perfectly normal childhood
Just a really bad kid
After all, you would not lie
Must not talk about this
Perfect family
Not abuse at all
You lie, my heart screams

An empty walmart is the scariest. usually means you are all alone
Your final stanza made me cringe. No one should feel that. Ever.
Great poem.
I enjoyed the video of you reading too :-)
