A mother's hate.

A mother's hate.

A Poem by Nina Love

I have always known there was something wrong,
Evidence in the little things you've done
Or said throughout my life.
But I never wanted to admit
My own mother hates me.
For so long I blamed myself and said
I'm just trouble,
Never smart enough,
Never sweet enough,
Never good enough.
But as I grew older
I grew up and realized
The problem is not me.
It showed itself in
Little ways,
Your anger seemingly flaring
Whenever I found happiness
Or was successful in
Anything.
I always tried my best to
Earn your love.
My own son brought me to realize that
A child should not have to earn
Their mother's love.
It should just be.
I still don't know why
You hate me, mother,
But at least I can admit that you do.
