Dear Mommy

Dear Mommy do you remember
What you promised me last spring
When you told me I could always talk to you
No matter what brings?
Well here I am today
To get things off my mind
And to release the pain I’ve kept inside
So I want to leave it behind
I’ll get on my knees
In front of your gravestone
And talk to you like we used to
When we were alone
Dear Mommy I’m failing my classes
And nothing is going right
My sister is having a breakdown
And I can’t sleep at night
At school I’m being treated
And looked at differently
I don’t know if it’s sympathy, compassion,
Or maybe even pity
I feel like there is no one to talk to
Like I’m all alone
Sometimes I just sit at home
In my room and moan
Daddy is going crazy
With all the responsibilities that you had
He now realizes what you had to go through
Therefore he feels bad
Dear Mommy I miss you so much
I wish you didn’t have to go
Why did it have to happen to you?
I just need to know
You had a disease
That took away your life
Now the life
I live today I strife
I wish I gave you hugs and kisses everyday
And said, “I love you”
It’s too bad you had to go
To make me feel the way I do
Dear Mommy it’s weird
How people get recognized after they die
But for me you were always a hero
And keeping your spirit alive I’ll try
It’s hard living day by day
Without a mother by your side
No one to tell your crushes to
And no one to give you a ride
Dear Mommy I never thought this would happen
The worst struck our family
I will never forget you
Because you were everything to me
Yes it’s going to be hard
And there are a lot of tears too
So this is how I’ll let you go
And say, “I love you”
I’ll look up at the stars
And see the moon
And I’ll just think of you and say,
“I’ll see you soon”
