I want to be content with being an abandoned doll.


I am a giver

And you are a wolf in sheep's clothing. 

I give 

Even though I know you will only demand more

And more

And more . . .

Until there is nothing left of me


You claim to be a saint but are the very thing that drags them to hell.

Spouting fake promises and sugar-coated lies

You fool the people around you

So that in their minds

You are the God

And I am the Devil who demands your demise. 


All I do is give

And I get nothing in return but your awful words

And disguised stares

And false comments

And a mockery of myself and my home. 


All I do is give

And all you know how to do

Is take.

This is about my mom's boyfriend. For five years he has done nothing but take from me and my family, so I thought I'd write a poem about it.
