I remember watching “The Crow” when I was youngerThe only line I ever remembered was“Mother is the name of god on the lips of children”Or something closeI also remember the creepy looking good guy, who no one could kill, squeeze what I later understood was a drug out of the mothers veins“Morphine is bad for you”Bruce showed me that movie and I wanted so bad to squeeze his temples and let the white powder ooze and squeeze outI thought I'd tell him, “Father is the name of god on my lipsCocaine is bad for you”Have you ever threatened to kick someone's ass and had every intention of doing it?You ever spent hours thinking about how to torture the one that help give you life until his was goneHis screams were your lullabies at nightBecause you couldn't hear your sobbing or the voice that says “nobody fucking wants you” issuing from the combat blade he gave on your birthdayNot over his screams, the screams drowned the pain“Nobody loves you”I asked him for one last thing my sixteenth birthdayJust give me a call, your my dadAnother lame excuse for your no reason but your too hopped up on god knows what to call your son“I was the first one you gave birth to.”“Angel” by Blue October takes me backI wanted him to feel all my painAll the pain he gaveWas it bad enough the kids at school avoided my like the black deathFather was the name of god on my lips!Donna couldn't figure out why I was so angryWhy I sat in my room writing hateful rap lyricsWhy I idolized such a foul mouthed, angry manEminemMarshall Fucking MathersIf she stopped looking for Mr. RightWho always turned out to be Mr. WrongMr. use you and string you along or Mr. torture you mentally until the break of dawnIf she would have spoken to me as a person, as her sonInstead of taking me to every pastor and shrink trying to diagnose or institute me cause I played etch a sketch on my shoulders and armsI was only superficial right?So no foul, no harmI she would speak to me maybe she would see I needed someone to want meI wished I could've slapped her so fuckin hard that all the self centered, self righteous parts that enveloped her heart and still do fell outAnd say,“Mother is the name of god on my lipsChild neglect is bad, It is abuse”I found a girlfriend finally somebody actually wanted meI thought like you, it was true and she would love me for meBut I should've saw that just like you that she would break me cause I was just looking to heal and get something from you I couldn't receiveYears later after the whole Ahna incident I spoke to you to try and keep family, cause I forgave Bruce and we talk a little tooAnd you say, “you have to understand I thought God was going to rapture you by age elevenI didn't think I would have to raise you.”Now for those of you who don't know the rapture is where go takes to heaven those he choseSo wait did she just say?Did she just inferDonna I knew it but to hear it confirmedYou never wanted meYou never loved meAnd though it hurt I forgave youForgave you until your final burnI only needed you tax info for fasfa!I never needed you money!But you didn't care that I wanted to help kids like meMother was the name of god on my lips!Ahna was my first real relationshipI called her my angelI thought she wanted me, my coreBut it was not what she really wanted at allI became a puppet and she was my masterI told her she was hurting me that certain things mattered to meLike seeing my friends and familySo we saw hers, not mineA shellYou ever been a ghost?Ever completely fucking died inside and became the living deadShe hurt me, so muchThere were cuts so deep, I had no more blood left in meBut the motor skills some how kept goingI tried to make you happyI did any and everything you wanted from me and you fucked my mind so hard that my mind fractured, it still isI gave my allYou shattered my heart“Lover is the name of God on my lipsIt hurts when you rave on after we kissI'm a shitty boyfriend, I never do shit”The combat blade speaksAnd forces stop meAfter all the glass and metal things thrown at meAfter we go in so many physical fightsbut physically I was a beast and combat trauma couldn't have meAfter you threatened to stab me in my sleepI gave you everything, everythingLover was the name of god on my lips!I say all this, not to gain pityI speak on this subject, this living Tartarus I livedI do it to say this“Friendship and love are the name of god on my lips”EminemYeah his is often thought of as an assholeBut I'm not convinced he's evilIt was his music that made me take away from my throat and put away that combat bladeHe is a reason I'm still alive todayEvery time I thought just slash, jerk, drag, and thats thatI heard screaming in my ear“Till I collapse!”My cartoons saved me tooYu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, and TMNTYu-Gi-Oh taught me believe in yourself and your friends, put your heart in all you doMy favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card is the “Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon”Because like a dragon I am a powerful beingAnd like the undead, no matter how much shit you throw at meyou may knock me down, but you never really kill mePokemon taught me be everyones friend and help those in needDragon Ball Z taught me, like Yu-Gi-Oh too, never give upGive your allWhen you have nothing left give moreWhen that's gone give againIt taught me pride in myself and all I didMaster Splinter taught me about family and teamworkAnd TMNT and Dragon Ball Z showed me kindness over strength is real strengthNow I have heard stories much more horrifying than mine, some much lessBut none the less it is a trial that we can all rise aboveI tell you all this because I know thatEven if you going through as bad or worse shitYou can over come every Kid Buu, every Marik, every Elite Four, and every fuckin Shredder!If you never let goIf you hold onGoku was my favorite in DBZ cause he showed kindness even to his enemiesTMNT it was Leobecause he protected all his brothersSo if you think you have no oneNobody fuckin wants you- Think againI'll stay your sidePeople are important, every part of them“Friendship and love are the names of gods on my lipsCause I should knowLoneliness is bad for you.”
