Mommy Dearest by Lolly Vieira
Trigger Warning: This poem alludes to incestual pedophilia and in NO way condones these unacceptable actions. The words are this writer's way of processing the pain of being molested by one's mother.
you touched me in a way no mother ever should
the normalized intergenerational trauma slipped from your fingers
and into my innocent soul
painting my insides with self-loathing and utter shame
you touched me in a way no child ever deserves
you broke me in a way no mother ever should
stabbing sentences struck my frontal lobes
and declared in gusto that I would always be defective
blades rolling around in my head no matter which way it turns
you broke me in a way no child ever deserves
you hated me in a way no mother ever should
jealousy pumped through your veins like fire
as you realized you couldn’t live through me vicariously
and swore to put a stop to my vile independence
you hated me in a way no child ever deserves
you abandoned me in a way no mother ever should
when I spoke up, you walked out
dragging the family along with your lies
but your actions showed me we both knew that the day I was born
you abandoned me in a way no child ever deserves

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
