Leigh Nickolyn Poet I do not know?

The Mother I Want

The mother I want

Mom!
Just say you love me!
I have never heard these words come for your lips,
Grasp me when i cry,
All you do is stare,
Am I a freak to you?

I just want a mother!
All these years I've tried my damn hardest to make you proud and happy
But I never succeeded.

Look mom!
I'm actually a "someone"!
I have talents,
Hear me play music,
Listen to these words I write to you,
What my arrows fly through the air!

Mom!
Please!
I'm your only daughter,
I'm not as beautiful as most women
Or as amazing,
But look at me, mom!

Am I an inconvenience to you?
Say the words and strike my heart,
Forever I will be lost in this world,
Without anyone.

I love you mom,
Silence,
Bye "mom".
