Confident
From my childhood
You never treated us right
I remember
we were supposed
To have fun
To love each other
To play together
But you acted like
I was silly
You hated me
only sometimes
I tried to love
did I do wrong?
You.
You brought home
The loving
Siblings who
You took away, and I
Shortly learned
The feeling
what it’s like
to want to die.
To have a big
fist hit my
sister and watch her
face, bleeding,
growing to
a huge bruise forming on
a beautiful woman who is
someone who will never be
Confident.

The poem is intended to be read in three different voices: The unindented lines-which are supposed to be the left side, the italics-which are supposed to be the right side, and all together. This work is entirely a work of fiction and is not related to me, but it is meant to show the different perspectives of parental abuse between an older sister and her younger siblings. Not even the closest people in your life can know what you're going through.
