My Unseen Mother

Always wondering if I should meet the mystery woman

The seed it was planted,
And you were the garden.
I was pulled from your soil,
As it started to harden.
And I believe I grew all for the better,
But I think of you and say, “I never met her.”

You’re creeping into my life again.
You’re speaking; it’s clear. 
I cannot pretend
That you are not real.
My unseen mother.

I’ve grown ever taller,
And fuller and brighter.
I fear that I’ve lost my life,
‘Cuz of the distant masked fighter.
Now, I’ve the chance to meet this mystery woman,
Who I’ve heard has ruined my life since day one.

You’re creeping into my life again.
You’re speaking; it’s clear. 
I cannot pretend
That you are not real.
My unseen mother.

But how on earth am I to believe you.
Either you are a liar, or all I know’s untrue,
I don’t know what I will do.
I thought with you I was through.
Maybe I will talk to you once again, once more,
But it will be hard to forget all that’s gone before.

A powerful poem. I didn't see my father till i was older and I found him. The reason for his separation was hidden from me. Experience and age taught me life is very hard. I learn to understand why. We must look at things with different eyes. The whole story is never written till we seek the real answers. The poem story is very strong and the answer to the story. You will learn with time. A excellent poem.

I really liked those lines the best. I sorta felt your confusion in here, especially in the end. Good job!
