from the moment

I was born

I existed for you

your words were my holy book

every phrase was my truth

I believed you when you claimed

'making you took two

but you, child, are mine

and all I need is you'

we were two souls made one

I was filled with your woes

taking on each hardship

as if it were my own

but there was only so much

of you I could take

as I suffocated on your words

I could feel myself break

I moved away from your anger

gave myself space to grow

I cast out all the negativity

and let hopefullness flow

and though I rebel now

those words are still true

despite this life of my own

'I would be anything for you'
