a perfectly blighted planet where soul-searching i
Occupation
Student at MHS.
As she
Was leaving for USC
She looked back listlessly
And unlovingly
Towards the post office
In which she
Had sent a letter to her mother.
After 18 years of living with her grandmother.
She had never known another.

And the letter went like this:

You know mom
Its funny just how much you make me wonder.
Its funny how you put my mind through journeys
Of places I have never been and
Things I have never seen.
How can you live without me?
In fact
How can you even look in my face with dignity?
But yet you
Learn how to play your games without
Even knowing my best friend's name.
But yet you say it's not you who deserves blame.
Its quite strange
How quick you are to tell me a thing
You think will pacify me
So politely
With every sound of intent in your voice
Hold on, my eyes are getting moist.
You bring a thing of joy into this world
A baby girl
And its so funny-
How I jumped from the begotten daughter
To the forgotten daughter
Quicker than you could count out the money
To pay your doctor bill with.
You don't know how much
You make me sick.
I despise you for making me
a part of your physicality.
Its funny how you're just like me.
You didn't think I knew your baby daddy
Was sucking cum out ya pu$$y
Yet you told me how you
Had to get away from that negativity.
And you just don't know that my man
did the same thing to me last week.
Its funny how I thought all
freaks were unique
But I guess its a thing of heredity.
And yet is funny hw you looked at me
So judgingly
When I ask you about things like
Condoms and birth control and $hit
TO PROTECT ME.
I guess you really wouldn't care
If you say me
Somewhere in the gutter with HIV
Or some kind of venereal disease.
To think
You went thorugh 10 years of marraige
Before you even concieve it seems
Before 1984.
But if you knew it was gonna end lilke this
Why did you even put me on this hellish.
Place that you may like to call Earth?
Well, hell I guess everyone has to be rebirthed.
But to you, oh lawd gul it is such a disguise.
There's only one thing you can do for me.
And thats to stay outta my face.


Her mother cried that night
And later on her mother died that night.
Her daughter didn't know that her words of spite
Took her mother to the grave that night.
