Notes About The Poem

Child To Mother

Why must you hate me
Show me that you love me
Why can't I get close to you
Hold your hand and comfort you
Why do you throw me
and savagely beat me
All I want is a little love
A small gesture that you care
Why do you show me so much hatred
Why do you abuse me
Is this what life is
I'll be free of you one day

Now that I'm older
Is that you dying 
Why can't I feel anything but relief
I can only stare at your suffering
Karma got you in the end
I'm still confused 
did I, or did I not love you
I never did understand you 
One day a forgotten distant memory

A sad poem written well, to question others is to belittle oneself. Love of the foolish whom not understand love is a light not ever dimmed, Good poem, read well, thanks
