I WISH YOU LOVED ME MOM

I WISH YOU LOVED ME MOM

A Poem by afra

Now I see those lucky girls

Whose mothers are always around

But you are never there for me

Like you are already under the ground


You give me money

You give me all I need

You call me honey

But you are still not the person you were supposed to be


All the stuff you do for me

Makes me cry

You say that its the best for me

You make me wish to die


You want me to be like you

Do you want me to be fake?

You never see the pain in my eyes

Cause you are too busy pointing out my mistakes


I wish you can be like dad

Who is always there for me

He loves me for who I am

Not busy trying to change me


You never fulfill the promises

That you love to make

You never give love

Just like to take


You are no longer a stranger to me

Cause you have neglected me for such a long time

You leave me in tears

Like every thing is okay and fine


Your hate made  me questioned you

Are you really the person who gave me birth??

Cause you are the reason of my broken dreams

You are the reason of my pain and hurt


Your words mentally beats me down

You call me weak

You are too busy telling me what to do

You don't even let me speak


I wish I can stop loving you

Just like you have stopped loving me

Our relationship is never like it should be

I wish that you loved me

Sad story. Very moving. Reminds me of the anger I held against my mother. That was until I became a parent myself. Then I realised how damn hard it is to be a parent. Let alone managing to be a good one. So I chose forgiveness. Especially because I learned shed been dealt a bad hand from her parents before.

This is a very lugubrious poem. The flow of it is impeccable, unconditionally smooth. The rhymes seem to come so easily to you, I admire that. The heart you put into this poem makes it so lovely. I don't having any advise to give...keep up the great work!

This is a very sad poem, it actually makes me wanna cry for you. I'm sorry about your mother is treating you like this.

Your poem conveys powerful emotions and feeling. Sometimes a parent has such a strong mental image of what they want their offspring to be or how they want them to grow up that they find it almost impossible to accept anything else. And when the child resists such guidance then friction leads to aggravation and stress. People love in their own ways. Also, it's important for children to allow their parents to be individuals too, not someone you want them to be. Your poem has a few errors in tense and word choice, but is still a good poem.
