She was my mother

Hard to believe we shared the same blood
And you did me more harm than good
I never lived up to your expectation
You only brought me up as an obligation
Everything I did was wrong
But somehow I managed to soldier on
I find myself alone and scared to go to bed
You said the demons I saw were all in my head
And as I grew up I started to lose my mind
I hated and loved you at the same time
They were turbulent times as I hit my teens
You and I could fight over a tin of beans
When I came home from school I dreaded your moods
You could be cold and angry and to my friends you were rude
You pushed me too far in your drunken rage
And you never made it to a grand old age
You drank too much to numb your pain
And when everyting went wrong it was me to blame
I held on tight to that bag of chemicals in my hand
And the fumes sent me off to the Motherland
I went off the rails I didn't care
It took me away from the nightmares
Things turned bad and our fights got worse
Life was never a blessing only a curse
But I pulled myself together and got on track
And when I left home I swore I'd never go back
You took ILL later on as you began to mellow
And your skin turned a sickly shade of yellow
I held onto your hand as you were close to meeting your fate
I said " I love you Mum" but it seemed too late
All the hatred and anger I had deep inside
It all disappeared when you finally died
I know you are happy and in the light
And what made us so different made us so alike.

Wow
Absolutely amazing write! This my poetic friend is one of the best poems i have read on here in quite a while! I can relate to living the life of this poem, only under different circumstances. How long have you been writing Kimmy? Your poem flowed perfectly, with full meaning and impact of a "rocky relationship" The title fits it well too! Sorry for the loss of your mother, just know you can't hold yourself to blame and have to let it go. I really enjoy reading your poetry.

| Truly amazing. I've always had a hard time putting my relationship with my own mother onto paper, but you've done a wonderful job. So sorry for your pain. :( |
