It will drive you insane
My sister & I are chained to a steel bedpost
Every few hours my mother comes in and beats me with a fire poker
She then sends one of her boyfriends to kiss my sister and hit her with his belt
They've often told my sister & I that they love us
Once we get out of here, we'll get our revenge
I'll wait until there sleeping
I'll use that same poker and beat their brains in until there unconscious
Nothing smells like human brains
A thick, sweet smell
It will drive you insane

I'll wait until there sleeping
I'll use that same poker and beat their brains in until there unconscious
Nothing smells like human brains
A thick, sweet smell
It will drive you insane

This poem is a haunting and disturbing portrayal of child abuse, trauma, and the lasting impact on the survivors.
Trauma and abuse: The poem graphically describes the physical and emotional abuse inflicted on the speaker and their sister.
The speaker's desire for revenge and the vivid description of violence highlight the lasting effects of trauma.
Maternal betrayal: The mother's role in the abuse is particularly disturbing, emphasizing the complexity of familial relationships.

Powerful write, Keith. Could be a storyline in a slasher film. Appreciate you.

Made think of Disney's Sleeping White and the Seven Twats... I love the brains scene that has been cut off in the Director's short dick version.
