BECOMING WHOLE By Rosella Gomez

Who hears the silent crimson screams of pain
It was not the one who birthed me of want
Her ears were closed to any of my cries
I yanked on her dress please please hear
I need to tell you why I am this way
She looks past me to a place I am no more
Where only happy times shine her way
And I am alone so very all alone silenced
Silence became my very best friend
In darkness we would place loud games
Where screams run free and tears allowed
In a garden where pieces of me run free
And we all comfort one another in turn
I am broken why can’t you see me?
For I am invisible, unworthy of your love
One day you will see me in all my pieces
Not when you are here, when you go away
And all you are to me is a memory of hurt
And you can’t take back all that was
But I can give to me my pieces completion
And become whole again in loving me just me
