To My Mom

I'm sorry for the nights I've kept you up, I realize it's gonna take awhile to rebuild that trust. I've broken lives, promises, and some other things, But thanks to your support I can make a change. By your love for me I can endure these extremes, No more lies to give you nightmarish dreams. Now I trust that your dreams for me can come true, Nothing in my life but misery without you. You know I never listened to what you told me, Yet being apart from you now I truly can see. Not ever realizing that it takes a change of mind, My way was sulking or reverting to the last time. I was quick to find someone else to blame, In the long run I would only hide out in shame. Then I came to a devastating realization, That old behavior is not accepted in civilization. T.W.I.S.T. JLM
