Best Warmom Poems
“Anna, put on the shoes your dad gave you.” I obeyed.
He had given them to me for my birthday before he
Was taken away. I haven’t seen him since that day.
But, mom tells us that we’ll see him again someday.
Melancholy had masked my mom’s face all morning.
My brother and sister sat on their bunks with sorrow.
It began to run and grow down their pale pastel cheeks
As mom somberly told them…
“Your sister and I are going away, promise me you’ll
brush your teeth and always pray. Peter, you take care
of your sister, you’re the man of the house now. It’s not
that bad, oh my beautiful babies—don’t be sad. I love you!”
“Let’s go!” as the guard pushed me and my mom. She picked
me up and placed me in her arms then harmoniously
hummed my favorite bedtime song. Then, we walked into a chamber.
She said “Close your eyes” and that’s the last thing I remember.

You should be caring
You should love us
You should have some respect
You should not ignore us
Sisters…sisters…
You say you’re sorry
Today comes you’re not sorry at all
Sisters…sisters…
I try so hardly
But by all means
You don’t try at all
You’re just there to cause us problems
And whine about you’re fake innocence
To mom and dad?
How pathetic
How soulless
You’re always there
To gain what’s best for you
And leave
You change your tones
Seeking a joke of ours
You get jealous
Because of us
You team up against me
So that no one believes me
How pathetic
How soulless
You’re never sorry
Even if you say it
I try not to waste life
But you try harder to waste it
I try not seeking you’re attention
And do what mom says
Then it’s always me
I’m the bad guy?
Hell no
I didn’t do a thing
But thus
They always believe you…
Of you’re fake tears
They always do…
I’m glad I’m not fake
Unlike you!
