To Be Determined By You

selfstruggles

Why do I determine who I am
by what your opinion is of me?
Why do I long for you
to accept me for who I am?
Why do I expect you to
understand me?
What makes me think that
you will listen to what I have to say
when you havent in the past.
Yes you gave me many material things
and for that I Thank you.
However what I was looking for
was for me to know
that you loved me for the person I was.
I needed to know that you believed in me.
That I had the skills I needed to grow up with.
I wanted you to know that I loved you
but I didnt feel that from you.
Yes you gave me food, shelter, clothing,
in which I am very grateful for
and feel I have showed you this through out my life.
However at times I felt you wanted more from me
or was it that, I wanted more from you?
I just wanted to know that you my mother
loved me because you did; not because you had to.
I wanted to be able to communicate with you
but never felt that in my heart.
I dont comprehend why I have
always felt this way towards you.
I have never felt that compassion and guidance
that every child expects from their mother.
Sometimes I want to tell you
Im scared to face life and afraid to die.
But I just dont see you as a person
who is capable of giving me
what I need from a mother.
I think you have tried
but it was just not there to give.

Ok..I promised myself I wasn't gonna comment again today cuz all my comments are now going in twice...but I couldn' resist not commenting on this..
This poem made me so sad... tho I have no reason to be as far as my own life is concerned... But I feel the pain and longing in your heart and wish that you could have had that love from your Mom...
Hope things get better for you...
Hugs
