Dear Mother

Dear Mother who are you?
To your children your life wasn't true.
You sent us out the door to play,
And made it a point to tell us to stay,
So you could do your cocaine,
To get rid of the struggles of your pain.

Dear Mother who are you?
You and your husband beat us black and blue.
As children all we felt was fear,
And every lash was an extra tear.
To us you constantly lied,.
And you were never there by our side.

Dear Mother who are you?
Did you not ever get the clue,
That what you were doing to us was wrong,
And in your home we didn't belong.
Your husband constantly told us to be quiet,
You should have told him to be the one to try it.

Dear Mother who are you?
Did that same man beat you too?
So ashamed you hung your head in defeat,
And let that man throw your kids in the street!
As children we felt very alone,
We were beat,
And from room to room we were thrown.

Dear Mother who are you?
Why didn't you take care of us when we had the flu?
You were to busy trying to get high,
While DFS was there telling us to say good-bye.
Was that man worth the dance and song,
That caused you to loose us for so very long?

Dear Mother who are you?
Did your father rape you to?
My step father raped me,
And that you refused to see.
He did it every night,
You said I was wrong and he was right!

Dear Mother now do you see?
How we would cry and plea!?
Now we are older,
And alot more bolder.
We can speak up and tell you,
To your children just how you were really untrue!

As a Parent

She looks at me with such hate,
I wish we could start with a fresh slate.
Every parent makes mistakes,
Learning from them is what it takes.
Her words can be vicious with her sharp tongue,
People say there is no excuse for it being 18 she's not young.
As a parent we are not always guaranteed,
That our children will follow our words and succeed.
To hear your child say they hate you,
Is sometimes hard to get through.
I wanted to be everything she needed,
But nothing seemed good enough for any reason.
I love my child to the moon and back,
I'm just not sure how much more I can take of her verbal attack.
I know it's a common thing for a young adult to go through this phase,
But she didn't even come home for the holidays.
Her reasoning made no sense,
And she had me under false pretense.
Little lies and big decisions,
Are my eye's failing me am I stuck with this vision?
I know the decisions she is making is horrible,
And it hurts because I can't be forcible.
All I want for you my dear child is to be you,
To look in the mirror and see yourself as honest and true.

Another Bipolar Mood

Somedays I just feel so bland,
Wondering where and when I will reach land.
I'm always feeliong like I'm in a daze,
And after a long time becomes a haze.
Outside there's no sun, only rain,
Just like inside, no joy all pain.
I wonder if everyone hates me,
While they all roam free.
Why is this you ask?
Because for me, keeping friends is a task.
I'm always in my head,
Stop worrying everyone said.
That probably will never take place,
Trust me my mind is one big race.
I'm always twirling my hair,
I'm not concentrating, it's so not fair.
All I ever want is to feel normal,
Maybe feel even a little formal.
This will probably never happen for me,
My future, my destiny, this way is all I see.
You probably think I'm strange,
Please know weirdness for me is a wild range.
I'm always struggling to get through the day,
Could somebody please show me the way.

End of My Roped

I feel like I'm at the end of my rope,
And I can't find any hope.
I have some deep depression,
And carry lots of repression.
Sometimes all I have to show,
Is my confidence that is low.
A couple of times I've attempted suicide,
I failed and my brain I probably fried.
I'm glad I did not succeed,
For me that would have been greed.
I will forever live with this,
But it doesn't hurt to wish.
The depression I try to fight,
It takes all my might.
There are days I have woke up feeling whole,
And feeling good in my soul.
But my life I can really make hard,
Especially when I don't trust and put up my guard.
Everyone wonders why,
But please believe I really do try.
I wonder what every day will bring,
And on good days my heart will sing.
Today is a confusing day,
So in my room I will stay.

Solid and Strong

To live and love,
is a blessing from above.
I watch my family grow everyday,
In every possible way.
My children are my life,
And soon I'll be his wife.
My love for my family continously grows,
And all the love they have for me really shows.
We have gone through so much together,
We'll fight side by side forever.
We are solid and strong,
And with that we'll never go wrong.
We fight everything that comes at us,
Nothing can take us down, not even a bus.
We are solid and strong,
And with that we'll never go wrong.

Showing the Way

Alone in this house I sit,
Wondering if I have a place in this world,
Will I ever fit?
I feel so empty,
And yet so creepy.
I want to go outside and enjoy the beautiful day,
Watch my children laugh and play.
It feel to open outside,
Go in, stay out, when will I decide?
I try to focus on the prettiest flower,
Lord give me the strength and power.
I feel it start to rise in me,
The wind picks up, it's nice and breezy.
I just needed to take a step back,
And realize I'm not giving in to an attack.
I can do this,
I quietly hiss.
I will make it through the day,
Because God is beside me showing the way.

Filling the Hole

I need to know that you will always love me,
Before I open my heart and give you the key.
I have spent my whole life looking for you,
Have you done the same thing too?
I have no questions about our life,
All I want is to be your wife.
Our day is coming soon,
When we will dance under the moon.
Saying our vows to the man up above,
Even he knows this is true love.
Everything I do is for our babies and you.
Even when you all have the flu.
For a long time I had an empty soul,
Until you came along and filled that hole.
I watch your beautiful face as you sleep,
It's you in my heart that I keep.
Our love is such a natural high,
A leap of faith and we can fly.
One day we will be married,
And it's our love that will be carried.

It's Having a Mother That I Miss

My children are the apple of my eye,
But at night when I'm lonely, I cry.
When I was young You beat me black and blue,
Nobody could see it, they had a different view.
You even hit me in the face,
Keeping me home afterwards to make sure the bruises left no trace.
You caused me so much anguish and pain,
What did I ever do to you, are you insane?
I found myself at the end of my bed kneeling,
Crying to God, starring up at the ceiling.
You were sorry for everything you did to me you would claim,
But in your eye's I never seen an ounce of shame.
You realized what your husband was doing in time,
But instead of doing something you let him continue this horrible crime.
Even after all this,
It's having a mother that I miss.
You may have beat me to the floor,
But I no longer hold a grudge or am sore.
Everyday I wake up knowing how I'm feeling,
And that's ok I know it's all apart of healing.

Young

I was so young,
Always dealing with the lsah of your tongue.
You should have known not to lean on me,
I was just a child, why didn't you see?
All you ever saw was your pain,
Did you ever stop to think it was something I would gain?
You never though of anyone,
What about your other daughter and only son?
Everything was so wrong as a child,
I can't even remember when I smiled.
I loved you like I was supposed to,
But it was to hard for you to follow through.
You beat me with a frying pan,
I never even had the chance to gain a battle plan.
I'm safe and secure now,
But when I was a kid,
This was something you wouldn't allow.
Things for me are now different,
I can keep me and my family distant.
I no longer have to take your abuse,
For what you've done there is no excuse.
So as an adult I can walk away,
And live my life day to day.

Complete Mess

I wonder what things will be like today,
Will I take the kids to the park
And watch them play?
Sometimes I want to crawl out of my skin,
Then there's the battles I can't win.
I debate this all the time,
Pretty much every rhyme.
I sit alone while everyone sleeps,
Something is causing me to weep.
I really don't understand why I feel like this,
Feeling normal is what I miss.
My anxiety is so far up,
Is today one of those days,
Or in bed will I chose to stay?
