To my mother;

by You Kill Me   Feb 27, 2009


How can I apologize
When I don't know what I did wrong?
I am trying to be happy
But it's so hard after so Long..

I know that I hurt you
When I tell you how I feel
You don't want to know that your daughter
Is finding it hard to deal.

I'm sorry I'm laying my petty problems
All on you mom,
But I have this thing that I blame other people
For this person I've become.

I know it's not your fault
But it's hard to put that into words
I know I'm not what you expected
&I'm sorry it's you I hurt.

I never meant to bruise you
And bring you into my world
But Mom this girl that you call your daughter
Isn't the happiest little girl.

We both know that I can't hack
Living this life I call my own
Maybe I should leave this world
That is making me feel so alone.

Why am I holding on
When I have nothing to hold on to?
I thank you for your support,
I don't know where I'd be without you.

I want to say I love you,
Because I don't say this as much as I should,

[I've never put my feelings for you into words,
So this is as best as I could]

    Well written. There's a few minor flaws about rhythm here and there, but the words came from the heart and that's all that matters. I think this is the kind of stuff everyone can relate to; Lord knows I can. I think everyone needs at least one person they can depend on without fail, but sadly that person is also the person you most often dump all your hurts on. You portrayed this very well.

    Technically speaking, my favorate part of the poem is definitely the last two lines in parentheses. It was a charming bit of unexpectancy (is that a word?). Also, your words are simple and that fact makes thisa nice poem to read when the brain isn't feeling very apt to decipher cryptic stuff. Good work.

    ^^ from in this stanza should be for , it doesn't make sense the way you have it .

    But Mom this girl that you call your daughter
    Isn't the happiest little girl.
    ^^ take out the first girl .. and replace it with something else .

    Your rhyme scheme is really good , and the flow only goes off a couple times .. Really well done . I enjoyed how you put the last couple lines in brackets .. It's cute . 5/5

    Awesome! It sounds like you really have a lot of stuff bottled up that you're trying to tell your mom. Dont give up though..never let anything get the best of you..Great job, 5/5
