My mother shot me in the head
Shut me from the world outside
Snatched the dreams right from my bed
And stole away my mind's bright light

My mother shot me in the legs
To stop my falling if I ran
"Prevent your evil to seed", she said,
By keeping me rooted like a plant

My mother shot me in the heart
Stopped the depth and passion's flow
Tried to take my one true love
For reasons that I'll never know

My mother shot me thrice today
My being's trinity took a toll
Yet here I am, though tears have stained,
As she could never shoot my soul
My mother hurt me.... So, so much.

But I deserved it. I always have, and I always will.

I'm so sorry, no one deserves to have family that way, especially someone who I can tell has talents and deserves love.

Nonetheless, it's a wonderfully written poem, your way with words is amazing!
