Forgiveness Part 4: Mom

I forgive you for hurting me and hiding me from everything

You imprisoned me my whole life
Kept me behind shadows
Forced me into decisions
Emptiness was sure to follow

I graced you with my love
Embraced you fully
Crying for socialization
I resent you truthfully

I'm thankful you cared
You stood up for me so many times
You did your best to be motherly
You also helped me die

Doing the best you can
You tried to shield me from pain
The really sad part is
There was nothing I truly gained

I sat alone in my room
Day after day
Crying for attention from others
Something that rarely came

You stuck your nose in everything
Even to this day
You have to learn to let go
Allow me to brighter days

I hate when you must know it all
You make me suffer so
Then when you try to talk to me
My jaw fills with rust

I love you with all my heart
I know you suffered too
Its why you try to protect me
So the world can't infect me

I forgive you for hurting me
How much you'll never know
I cry inside for love
Waiting for that glow

I promise to do my best
To try and do what's right
I've always been so honest
Kind and polite

Please just respect me
Respect the decisions I'll make
Sure I'll make mistakes
But its steps to take
