Mom

A Poem by Karen Elizabeth miller
"

This has helped me work through my feelings

"
Mom


Your so domineering
To the naked eye
You think you can control me
All you do is make me cry

For so long now I wanted
To tell you how I feel
The pain is fresh inside me
How can I ever heal

I tried so many times to tell you
Just how bad it was for me
You just ignored my cries
You ever could really see

I was hurtinting on the inside
As well as the out
But my cries went unheard
It made me want to shout

I finally gave up trying
For you to see my way
I knew it was a hopeless plan
You wanted me to stay

Each time I tried to leave
You sent me back to him again
You even tried to kidnap me
I thought you were going to be my friend

I lost all my trust in you
As well as myself right now
How can I ever be strong again
That's something I never could allow

Not thinking I could ever live
With all this pain inside
I carried it with me for so long
Always trying to hide

I'm trying to see the truth of it
How I couldn't change a thing
The only thing I need to change
Is my guilt is what I'm feeling

You can't control me now
I'm taking the pain away
Starting fresh with everything
Is how I feel today

Oh, this makes me think of my mom. There's a very long list of why I don't trust her or like her much anymore. She's controlling too, and thinks herself a saint to the point where she doesn't care if she hurts me in any way or not because either way she's perfect in her own mind.
I'm sorry you had to go through what you did. Sometimes I really think some moms are crazy.
Seriously?! Your own momkidnapped you?! O.O
This is a good poem. I saw at least one spelling error and two in the poem "Rain" but that's okay. It can easily be fixed.
Well done! ^^

Your work is very nice.
Beside, all our life we don't really appreciate the love of our parents. We are too ignorant and busy to make our future. But when parents are not around, then is the time we know what they meant to us and want we did wrong. Cherish every moment with your parents guys. One move can save you from a life longing regret. Cheers :)

love is really sweet if it is mutual, but..if it were a one side love, it would be a disaster, i loved how you have expressed you feelings in a such nice way with nice flow and sweet metaphor..i loved the music in the poem coming through the lines...sad quiet music suiting the topic.
well done really..

I feel very sad and glad at the same time while reading and rereading your piece.
You have crafted a perfect epic with all your pains and struggles.
I am also happy to learn that you are now free of pain and have started afresh.
