The Final Letdown

The Final Letdown

A Poem by Elizabeth Porterfield
"

a sad song a bout a drug addicted mother who neglected her children.

"

Looking back now

I see everything in a new light

And my past was Dim

More often than Bright

I had a mother who couldn't stand

To be with her child

So it's no small wonder

That I went wild

 

(Chorus)

Now I scream at the top of my lungs

And I finally let it all go

Tired of drowning in my pain

So it's time that I let you know

That I hate the way you neglected me

Made me feel like I was worth nothing

I let it all go!!!

 

Now this pain

Has fallen down like rain

As thick as the blood

I let pour from my veins

Here I stand

And here I fall

In the end I had to

Let go of it all

 

(Chorus)

 

You turned away from me

And left me to rot in my shell

You knew the rest of me

Was dying, you knew it quite well!!

This was the final letdown.

This was the last time you let me down!!!!1

 

(Whispered)

Now I scream at the top of my lungs

And I finally let it all go

Tired of drowning in my pain

 

(Full Blast)

So I scream at the top of my lungs

And I finally let it all go

Tired of drowning in my pain

So it's time that I let you know

That you've helped enough, you neglected me

Letting go of your precious memories

You made me feel like I was worth nothing

I'm letting you go!!!!!!!!
