A MOTHERS LOVE

I try to hide it and play hard
But the truth is I Still hurt inside
I think of the pain you put me through
And I cry so deep inside cause regardless of what happens 'I STILL LOVE YOU'
I have thoughts of what it should feel like
Thoughts of having a loving mother in my life
They say a mothers love should be the best feeling in the world
I say when I feel it I will let you know

I often wonder what I did wrong to make you call me such names
Curse me out and treat me like I don't belong
Why you talk about me negatively and never say "I LOVE YOU"
What did I do, why not just abort me or give me away to someone that would have actually supported me
I replay things in my mind all of the time
Tyring to figure out what went wrong
Then I had kids of my own
So I question myself
How will I be as a mother 'will I follow the same steps'
Thy say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
But my answer is NO because I know that a mothers love is the best feeling in the world
And my boys do feel it and always let people know

I tell them I love them and that they do things really good
I tell them I am proud of them and 'I knew you could'
I hug them and talk to them and teach them what I know
I nurture and comfort them so they never feel alone
So why do I still hurt inside?
Because regardless of all of the love I get elsewhere
It can never fill the void of a mothers love because that should be the best feeling in the world
When I feel it I will let you know

It makes me realize that I take my mother for granted. Not in the sense that I take advantage of her but just the assumption that all mothers love like mine. It wasn't until I became a man that i realized her "opportunities for improvement" but when I was a kid, I thought my mother was the shizzle-van-snipple. i guess that was a blessing. very thought provoking piece.

This poem, sorta confirms socities assumptions. that without the proper examples a child is doomed to fall short in life. i love that this poem shows that, but also shows that with willpower it might can change. great job on the exposing of this raw truth.

Wow, girl, bravo! You got it out. Did she ever read it? If so, what was her reaction. My mother has not read mine yet. If she ever starts any shit with me, though, she'll read it then.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
