I HATE YOU
You are an unhappy
jealous woman
And your life has not
turned out like you thought
So you try to make me feel
smaller than a flea.
Squeeze me
and try to squash me,
but my shell is hard
and I will jump
away from you
Away where I can remember
good things about you
when you held me as a child
and taught me that I
possessed the power
to defend myself
You made me feel I could do anything
and for that
I love you.
