Please

I see you left a voicemail...

the third one this week. 

I didn't listen to it or the others,

I just pressed delete. 

I know I don't reply, 

and I'm sorry on some level, 

but mother understand...

I'm trying to be careful. 

You've taken so much from me. 

Made me feel like I'm crazy. 

How can I forgive you...

especially since you have not given an apology.

You see me as your baby, 

when I'm not around. 

And when we are together, 

you kick me to the ground. 

Lies, manipulations, 

I can't even believe when you say you love me.

Please mother, please....

just leave me be. 

Maybe in the future, we'll start to get along. 

Maybe in the future, you'll see what you did was wrong. 

But for now I am begging, 

don't bring me anymore pain. 

I can't stop from feeling it, 

and it's driving me insane.

I can think of a few people I know who would want to say this to their mother. Mother relationships are wonderful when they are perfect, but this must be painful indeed. Well conveyed!

THanks!

This is quite sad. I can see you love your mother but you need to stay away for your own mental health. The rhyming was perfect. I look foreward to your next poem

[D.T.]

Thank you! Much appreciated!!

Hi D.T. This is so raw and deep!! I could feel the bleeding heart, and the pain in your words. It brought a tear to my eyes, I can tell you, to think someone has suffered at the hands of their mother in such cruel fashion. I think there is a lot more to tell of this story, and I hope that some day you may share that. I will be waiting, alf

A very sad poem D.T. It accurately describes the feelings and emotions one goes through when our loved ones inflict pain on us. Amazing work
