Linds M. Crate

i told my mother once that you forced me to kiss you, but i told her nothing more; couldn’t find the words to speak of the act you tried to force me to do—maybe i was too good a liar, maybe she just didn’t sense the truth the way mothers sometimes do; but it felt like a betrayal when she defended you and insisted you were a good person—it took all i had in me to swallow down a thousand hurtful words because i didn’t want to be the same monster as you were, i didn’t want to cause wounds i couldn’t repair; but i could not understand why no one could see the truth about you—why no one could look past the pretty lies that you told them, that no one could see the monster within your skin; were they not looking or could they just not see?
