Mother May I Wish?

An acrostic poem about my mother.

I Wish you were...

At a loss for words

Good to me

One of the people I could trust

Overwhelmed with guilt

Drowning in dread

I wish you were more than you are

I wish you...

Made space for me

Often thought about changing

Think of how bad you treat me

Heard my pleas

Experienced my pain

Remember everything you've done

instead of being there you have made me...

 

Uncapable of liking myself

Riddled with lies

Notably depressed 

Outstandingly suicidal

Terribly mistaken

Bold claim, I'm aware. And please no comments saying she is trying, I know. Just please don't say anything defending her she is bipolar and extremely narcissistic and probably more than that.
