The Ladies of Horror

Deliverance
by Killion Slade

You rejected me from conception. You couldn’t kill me then, but the narcissistic victim reveled in every moment of the pity-party. My abandonment was your theme some. My scars bear evidence of my determination as I fought the bonds of your rejection, desperate for an ounce of kindness, protection, or a mother’s love. After decades, the desecration of our mother-daughter relationship was immutable. I’ve challenged you, and I’ve faced the abstruse layers of your betrayal. The impenetrable bubble has popped. I soar free from the cage of hate you use to imprison my soul. Your reward? I am your mirror. Every time you look at or think of me – you are now forever trapped in your karmic prison. Your new theme song is deliverance.
