Byname

A free verse poem. Contains verbal abuse.

He taught me my name as acid dripped from his lips leaving scars in my ears while heart felt hatred filled eyes that swore, I would never belong!

He told me it was spelt differently than I thought, but I heard him say it so many times before, how could I have been wrong?

"Man-up! Dough-boy. Such a pussy. Pathetic. Idiot. Fat and Ugly. Cry-baby. Princess. Weak. Burden to bear. Bitch-tits. Waste of space. Sissy. Worthless little piece of shit. Just fucking weird. No spine! Odd. Thank God!

…Not mine."
