tw: abuse

i didn't know how parents were supposed to be.
so when mine beat and neglected me,
i questioned nothing.
it wasn't until my friends would charm
over their fathers wits and mothers hugs
that i realized how futile my parents had become.
then, i craved to be showered in kisses
not cruel words or savage hands.
