Goodbye, Mom

For those who ever felt the pain of not being wanted enough, good enough, or loved enough, your time will come and your scars will be reminders that not only were you good enough, but you were better!

Coming home from school

My report card in hand

I walk over to the pool

And over you, I stand

"You're blocking the sun

Get out of the way"

No how are you hun

Or how was your day

I take a big step back

Wanted to give you pride

But you tell me how I lack 

Without even looking inside

You say "go do your chores

And get your homework done

Only bring home high scores"

Or "you're getting fat GO RUN!"

To please you I do try

But you eye me with disdain

I never cheat I never lie

Do I cause you so much pain?

I want you to be my mom

Though you couldn't care less

Just throw your daily bomb

And I will clean up your mess

But I cannot keep on trying

This cannot be routine

My pillows wet from crying

When you're inhumanly mean

You don't want a daughter

You don't want a friend

But I'm no value of a quarter 

This life I live must end

As tears drop on my letter

I write to you that I did try

But I'm worth something better

So mom? I love you. Goodbye

Oh, my goodness! This is such a sad poem or should I say letter. It was really well written and easy to read and follow. It's just so sad. I have run across parents who treat their children like doormats and vice versa!!
