Mommy I wanted to make you proud

by angelposer   Jan 29, 2005


I know you think
I am a horrible person and all
I know you think I never do anything right
But I just have to let you know
Remember my report card...
Remember the final I almost failed?
Mommy...I tried ..
I studied hard
Just like you told me to
What you didn't know
Was that I could have gotten a 100
At the cost of cheating...
Mommy I thought about it
I thought of how proud you would be
If you saw that 100
On my report card
I was really tempted
But then I thought about it
And I knew it was wrong
I had been taught better
So I told them no
I was not going to do it
I knew if I chose not to cheat
You would be dissappointed
Because of my failing
But I knew it was worth
Doing the right thing
Than cheating and getting a good grade
Mommy I felt so much better
Knowing that I had done the right thing
I wanted to hear you tell me
That I had done the right thing
And that even though I almost failed
You loved me anyways
But you will never know
What I did.

Mama "B" is real good at it too I can tell you but I also can tell you that I am here to if you need someone to talk too. I'm the daughter my mom said who cutt her wrist it aint a pretty site if you look at them everyday you get up to change if you know what I mean. My mom wrote alot to you but it didn't go through and we don't know why but what she said to you is what she told me in a way and it really helps too. Well I got poems coming in so please do keep them out and when my mom types her poem I'll tell you alright well I hope that you get better and know that I'll listen to what ever you need, need's listening cause I could be a good friend but I aint perfect at all trust me. I love your poems and I hope you never stop writing them and I hope that things do change for you and yes there is alot of stuff we need to figure out cause we're just young and we still need room to grow so I'm here if you need me or just want to talk.

    A STRANGER

    FRIEND
