The Unwanted Daughter

as i knocked on the door i could not help but think
will my heart soar or will it sink
you opened the door and looked at me
could this be who i think i see
i said hi i am your kid
it must have been something i did
cause she just slamed the door and said,
go away to me you are dead
i just want to get to know you
don't you want to get to know me
NO you stupid kid just leave me be
your suppose to love me your my mom
i do not love you get off my damn lawn
fine if you don't like me i will go
but i love you mom that's all i wanted you to know

It is so sad when a mother cannot welcome her child's love. I hope you have risen above this unwelcoming "mother," and know how gifted you are. Excellent poem, Lesa! Love, Carolyn
