Child Transformed

I used to hang on every word
letting them seep into my skin
Until a kind of death occured-
Inside me, a product of your sin

You always had to push me down
A punishment for my acts
You never let me see the sun
Unless it was eclipsed

I used to be so fragile
Meek, and at your will
But the more bitterness you forced upon me,
I began to stay, so still

Your words destroyed
All my feelings
With me you toyed
A heartless being

The more hate you layered on me
The more my hate for you swelled
I wanted so much to become free
Instead I became like you, as well
