A Mothers Love

When I was a child I saw you,
Way up in the sky.
Why did  my mother go  away?
My. Daddy wouldn't lie.
In my teens you came to me, 
Said you were my mother.
But that cant  be possible,
You went to God,
He had sent me another
It was about that time,
I learned the truth,
It all  came back to me.
You never wanted me from the start,
My mother's love wasn't meant to be.
After feeling unloved my whole life,
I have accepted in my mind.
You created me to be unlovable.
Its it's love I'll never find.

Dianna. As someone who grew up with domestic abuse, I still struggle with feeling loved. Thank you for sharing. I felt like your inner child was on a podium sharing these words with us the audience in silence and in tears. Thank you for sharing.
