Those words,
Punitive
Words.
Wishing violence
On her
Future self.
Cringe worthy,
Words.
Cruel,
Hateful,
Damaging,
Shaming.
From your
Grown-up mouth.
The balance of
Power,
Unequal.
Her heart,
Broken.
Choose your
Words more
Wisely
She won’t be a
Child forever.
Her damage
Traced
Right back
To your words.
And will you feel
Justified
When she
Fulfills the
Bad girl
Schema?
You told her
She deserved
Only the
Worst.


How very true and a great way to make the point x

So true! I was in my 40s by the time I realized that the negative things my mother told me about my body were how she felt about herself.
