I Fear You Aren'T Even Here

I fear you aren't even here
I can't remember the day
You gave me up
I don't know
If it was because of me
Or your luck
I have memories
In which I cried
Why do I have such hard times
I fear I may live with pain
Out of sanity
My own parent's absurdity
Tell me mother
What is so wrong with me
Is there anything you want to change
Are there moments you forget
That I was once your child
Do you have a strict belief
That I am no longer blood
Shed from your ovaries
I fear every dark hour
With stars that twinkle And don't forever shine
I may end up dead
Before you turn up with a smile
But I see a door
It seems to open for me
I'm hoping it's a key
From your heart to mine
Now feeling my pain
Slipping
From my heart to the dirt on the floor
Is this it
Is it you
It seems as if
God has come to adopt me
Instead, for you

--long lost family--

Harmony , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
