distant love from a mother

to know the truth but to hear you lie its a big surprise

i tried & tried to block your acts out not knowing i was destroying myself

i would make you seem like this cool hip person

to my friends & associates

knowing the real you was lost in self destruction

you let me down repeatedly & yet i still had hope

like you was this famous person

just waiting & waiting for you to perform but you'd never show up

i guess you got use to the party life

better yet i know you did

how could you not give me the proper love i deserved

or just a simple apology thats all i ask for

is that too much

or am i pushing my luck

no longer will i dwell on your pity

 which will try to bring me under as it has you

dont get me wrong i will never give up on you which is my job

thanks to you i got to know what true love

looks & feels like by others of the same blood

who took me as their own with that being said

i know i'll never be left alone

surrounded by love & support

thats all it takes for me to get on my feet & take my first step

towards great success

THANKS MOM

I been down this road with my dad , I have a full understanding what you felt and still feel.

Many of us had/have less than ideal parents; me included. They're both gone now, so I love their memories. It appears that you've forgiven your mother, and that is the very best thing you could do.

We must learn from other mistakes. I had AWOL parent. Taught me to be a good father. A excellent poem. I like your writing. You write with a purpose.

Pretty Well Written, Hope To See More From You, I Like The Middle, The First Part Kind Of Threw Me Off, But I Guess Its For People With Common Situations

Being a mom myself, I have to say sniffle, sniffle, nice piece. I thought it was well written and thoughtful. Keep up the good work.
