Mother Dearest

Topic: MothersDayPoems

You'll never know how many tears I cried because of you
Or how many times you blamed me for things I didn't do
You'll never get inside my head to read every single thought
You'll never know how many things I've done without ever getting caught
I know that you don't trust me
And that you think I'm a whore
But I've been alive for eighteen years
And I still don't know what for
The only thing I want from you is the one thing you won't give
Let me make my own mistakes
With my own life to live
I'm not an alcoholic, a druggie or a slut
But you always say it's all my fault when I get in a rut
Though daddy died nine years ago
The light in my heart is still dim
And there were times so long ago
I wished you had died and not him
You make all of these assumptions
And think you're always right
But I'm no longer listening, and I've blocked you out of sight
The life I lead now is all my own
As opposed to the life I once led
And I know it must be a surprise to all
That I haven't already ended up dead
You'll never know what it's like to have
A daughter who makes you proud
Instead you were graced with a burden
Who thinks and talks too loud
But although it could've been better
You know it could also be worse
While I haven't always been a blessing
I hope I'm not seen as a curse
You'll never know what the future will bring
Or which dreams may come true
And you'll never know how sorry I am
For what I've put you through.
2003

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
