Love Me

poem by: D'Vina Dietrich
Written on Sep 11, 2020

You weren't suppose to hit me 
You weren't suppose to scratch me
You weren't suppose to call me names
You weren't suppose to accuse me

You were suppose to love me
Give me a hug and a pat on the head
Call me your daughter 
And tell me your proud 

I felt so alone and worthless
I felt like I didn't matter
I'll never be good enough 
Just always in the way 

Towards the end 
You tried to love me 
Tried to praise me 
Tried to be a mother 

Now your dead 
And I'm left wondering 
Depressed and confused 
Lonely and scared 

Was I ever enough 
Am I not worthless 
Was I a good daughter
Did I ever earn your love? 

Years have passed 
And im here still trying to 
Gain your acceptance 
Knowing ill never know

You're not worthless. I'm sorry your own mother treated you that way. That's a really powerful poem.

Bird

poem by D'Vina Dietrich

A Bird with a broken wing. The others flew away, Yet he's there, alone. The Others knew it was coming. Gave up on Him. Yet they were a Flock. Weren't they always suppose to be? Poor Bird all alone, No one to save him. H... Read more

Storm

poem by D'Vina Dietrich

Rain falls, Hitting me hard. Tears from my eyes. Thunder roars, Shaking me entirely. Deep in my chest. Lightning strikes, Slashing my heart. Ending my pain. Read more
