Acrostic

Acrostic for Divorce

Dealing with the pain, anger and the hate
I'm angry because that's the way you make me feel
Very raw, like an open wound
Overcoming the rejection of life
Realizing I'm just a thing to be fought over and won
Crying because I know there is an
Empty vortex of hate dwelling inside of me


Acrostic for Mother

Missing a mother that doesn't miss me
Opening up to you is like putting scissors in an electrical socket
Taking the life and sucking it straight out of me and pouring
Hot water, Scalding hot water over my body and watching me burn
Embarrased when I see you with him
Reading a poem that you were the inspiration for (even though it's not flattering)


Acrostic for Child Custody

Crying for the way things used to be (happy)
Having a knife go through your stomach (despair)
I need love but get non (sadness)
Lost in utter confusion (which parent loves you more)
Dealing with anguish by yourself (despondency)

Cutting the pain from your body (depression)
Undeniable hatred (misery)
Shattered souls (devastation)
Talking to no one but your stuffed teddy bear (paranoia)
Obscurity (unaided)
Dying inside (suicide)
Yelling in the silence because no one listens (ignored)
