I’d never treat someone the way I treat myself
I’m not kind to what looks back at me, what lives inside. What hurts.

“You’re stupid! You’ll never be anymore than you are! You deserve the sadness. You deserved it.”

I know I didn’t
I know I don’t
But still the shame. The pain. The guilt.
Lives in me.
Occupies this space I don’t see as my own

I’m just a part time resident in what should be MY HOME
