PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

All I wanted

Was a hug

To be told

That I was loved

Instead

I got a pep 

Talk

And a 

Scold

The 

"I need a life too"

Shit

Is really

Getting 

Old

I bite my tongue 

When you're 

Around

I make not

A

Peep

Make not

A

Sound

I cover

Myself in

Pastry

To 

Get 

Your 

Attention

You ignore 

Me totally

And

Go it to him

Not to

Mention

I am your child

A product 

Of you

But you

Don't see

That

You look

Right

Through

Love me momma

I'm pleading

I'll cut 

Myself

'Till I

Am bleeding

All I wanted

Was a hug

And now

I'm shriveled

On 

The 

Floor

All

I wanted 

Was a

Hug

Now 

I ask myself

"What for?"
