Dark Cloud

The dark cloud
Hangs over me now
Verbal onslaught
Nonstop
I escape in my poetry
Find my inner symmetry
But she's there
Berating
Everything
I once thought I was adopted
A new family
I would've opted
But alas
Tis not the case
She's my mother
With a constant
Sneer
On her face
And I'm left wondering
Does she really love me?
