Exceptional How it happened. Within earshot by Jesse James Doty

Through bedroom walls, I'd hear My mother's sharpened tongue complaining about me even though I was young It was me the one she blamed I remember oh so well Said I was out to get her make her life a living Hell Looking back at those days my mother was quite ill She thought I wished her harm her voices taunt me still All things within earshot remind me of my past I hope to one day find the haunting will not last Recognized Author Notes Why do I care what people think of me? This is the reason why. Writing this was therapeutic. Sharing this is part of my healing process. Thank you for letting me share.
