Dear Mother

Dear Mom,
you dont understand how much you hurt me,
you dont know how many tears i shed,
or the ammount of times i'm dripped blood from slits in my wrist.

I love you Mommy,
all i want to do is help, 
i'm a teenager i make misstakes
i'm sorry, Mommy, if i'm a bother
i only try to ease you burodon on raising 3 kids
i'm the middle child, Mom
i care and love
Cant you hear me, Mommy?
You have to 3 seconds to andswer
3...2...1...

My writs are bleeding, Mommy
maybe now i'll do good

aww this is so touching, I understand how you feel, my mother left home when I was 11 years old and I saw my father have a break down over it, so I know how it feels, some people used me make me feel like it was a mistake I was born but when i found God I know I was born to live for him the rest can go jump the oens that hurt me the most, even some own sisters were cruel to me, anyway thanks for your feed back on my poem the Lord is my shepherd

Ok for one I am a mommy and you dont know it but she dose love you it is just as hard for your mom to understand you as it is for you to understand her take my word for it I know I have a 14 year old and a 10 year old both boys and ya'll are hard to raise I do like your pome it is very emotional and well writen but don't be to hard on your mom cause unless she is beating you or out drinking all the time it is not that she dose not love you it is she dose not know how to show you she loves you

This was so sad. I want to cry. George's right, try to be strong. I'm sure your mother is going to be proud of you one day. Everything will be alright..just a little time is needed. You'll do good. God bless. Love Chitra

Very sad but I can understand. Time does not take away pain but it does help ease it. Take care and keep writing
