CHOKE OUT
You dumb-ass bitch
You choked out my motivation
CHOKE OUT
You ignorant fuck
You choked out my entire world
CHOKE OUT
You stupid whore
You choked out my childhood
CHOKE OUT
You fucking slut
You choked out my idea of a mother
CHOKE OUT
You money-grubbing whore
You choked out my innocence
CHOKE OUT
You two-faced bitch
You choked out my self esteem
CHOKE OUT
You selfish asshole
You choked out my faith in people
CHOKE OUT
You piece of shit
You choked out my entire life
I say NOW
NO MORE…
You cannot
And
WILL NOT
Choke me out
ANYMORE
You
Go
And
CHOKE OUT
On
A
Big
Sloppy
Ass
Rod,
Bitch
‘Cuz you KNOW you will
For a BUCK,
SLUT
Author notes
My mother is a shallow, money-grubbing, bitch that loves her "other daughter" because she is so-called "perfect" even though she is dumb as a rock...she chose her because she is her puppet and follows her every direction...I, on the other hand, disagree with everything she is and stands for (I REFUSED to marry for MONEY!!!...that's just STUPID to me...--I want to be HAPPY and actually LOVE my husband, like I do now...I waited and found him...I was not FORCED into a BS money-marriage)& after years and years of thinking I just wasn't good enough, I NOW realize that she only shunned me because I was stronger and could not be manipulated...I THANK GOD FOR THAT....I write on the pain that I feel because it hurts to have a mother that hates your very existence when you haven't even done anything wrong, but I am working my way up and I WILL heal with more time. We haven't spoken in 4 years...

Woah, this grabs me literally by the brain from the outset, reminds me horribly of a memory I thought I'd lost but great writing does that. Such a powerful and searing write, I don't really know what to say...the pain is intense and so real, I love the way you communicate your feelings with such honesty. I feel my stuff's twee after reading this... Not surprised this won gold, damn right. I really hope writing this was a cathartic experience and good for you for having the stomach and skill to share this with us. Thanks, and yes you will heal with time, some people aren't even worth a thought. Good luck and thanks for reading my stuff too. Take care

INCREDIBLE
I must say that THIS ONE is DEFINITELY taking the contest LITERALLY and I have to appreciate that. Contest motivation aside, I think that this is an incredible write that expresses your pain and, from what I can tell--triumph, over your mother's oppression in your life for so many years. I cry when I read about how much she has hurt you...

Painful
I feel your pain in this one, Steph. I have been there and understand how hurtful it can be when you can never be good enough for a parent. My father drove me crazy in college and even though now I have my own practice, I'm not quite sure it is good enough for him because he wanted me to go into emergency medicine like he and my brother did. Somehow, I feel left out and hurt because of his relationship with my brother who followed in his footsteps, like he wanted me to. I just keep my head up and stay really proud of my own accomplishments regardless of what he thinks.
