Dear Mother

There's so much I wish I could tell you,

All the things that I've been through,

How the boys broke my heart and took me for granted,

And how I let friends pressure me into trouble, though it was not what I wanted.

I know I didn't always make the right choices,

I've stumbled and fallen, silenced my own voices,

But most of all, I wish you could believe me,

When I'm telling the truth, please don't deceive me.

I'm still young, and sometimes childish,

But it doesn't mean that I'm reckless and wildish,

Attention and love are all that I need,

And with your support, I'm sure to succeed.

Thank you for always being there,

For listening and showing me that you care,

You never judged me for my mistakes,

Instead, you picked me up and gave me strength, which makes.

So, as I write this letter to you,

I want to say thank you for all that you do,

For showing me unconditional love,

And being my shining star above.

With gratitude and love,

Your child.
