My lost childhood with my motherA Poem by Bree MarzSomething i wrote back in 6th form ... written October 27,2005
I opened my eyes into a new world and saw a smiling face looking down on me.
two weeks later,Ii was staring at the wrinkled face of my grand mother. where have you gone mother? why did you leave me? I had my first birthday. Now I am 2,3,6,9, still I cant seem to find. what have I done mother? Where did i go wrong? you missed my first game this evening. Don't you want to see me? I had the highest graduation grade to go off to high school. Grandma got me a nice gift. Grandma was at graduation. Mother won't you come? Fifth form is here now mom. I am 16 now. I am experiencing sexual emotions towards the opposite sex. I don't understand them really. I need to talk. Please..... Grandma is getting older. I graduated at the top of my class with a certificate of distinction. I am so proud. Grandma is too. I had hoped you would show up, But you didn't mom. You have been away so long, I scarcely remember you. Matter of fact, I don't. You were around for only two weeks.... Years went by in University. I studied Law and graduated with a masters degree. As expected, I was among the top performers at graduation, Grandma didn't come though, She died last Spring from lung Cancer. But I think it was from a broken heart. Work is great! I have a husband and we are about to have a child. Now you show up. What are you here for mother? You want to be apart of my life now??? I think not... You missed out on so much already. You would not know where to start. Moreover mother, I don'y need you any more!
