Part One<\/strong><\/p>\n You pick at healed emotional scars. Part Two<\/strong><\/p>\n How can I help you when I\u2019m helpless too? a poem by [victoria] <\/p>\n Part One<\/p>\n You pick at healed emotional scars.
\n<\/span>You make fun of the bullied.
\n<\/span>You throw away friends like common trash for kicks.
\n<\/span>You put on clothes that barely fit. Just because
\n<\/span>You can. I actually thought
\n<\/span>You was cool because you gave
\n<\/span>No f***s. Sneaking around
\n<\/span>To make a few bucks.
\n<\/span>Kicked out the house then pregnant\u2014
\n<\/span>Both fatherless. How did you make it? Adoption
\n<\/span>You went. 18 years later…
\n<\/span>Wow, we\u2019re here.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Can\u2019t be your backbone, I hope
\n<\/span>We\u2019re still cool.
\n<\/span>Well I was young so I acted like
\n<\/span>A fool.\u00a0<\/span>You acting shocked
\nlike this stuff is brand new.
\n<\/span>I gave you clothes
\n<\/span>And kept you fed.
\n<\/span>I\u2019ve even gave you my last dollar
\nAnd m<\/span>ade up your bed.
\n<\/span>Hate that I didn\u2019t see you
\n<\/span>Grow into a man. I remember
\n<\/span>You made weird noises into the fan.
\n<\/span>I\u2019m sorry, now I\u2019m here. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
