To my mother

By Danielle

The pain,
The anger,
The frustration,
All leads me to shame
I'm the person to blame
Why cant you accept I won't be the same?

The hard times are here
All I want is a beer
I try hard to stay clean
but It's a horrible scene
You say together we will get through
but what am i suppose to do?

See I have a drunk for a dad
Its really sad
He's always mad.

I'm always running away
You don't know what to say
Just hoping and praying I'm OK
I've never been strong
You always tell me I'm doing wrong
I feel like I don't belong.

Then I was raped you made me feel
as if it were my fault
I still haven't dealt with this incredible pain
but I'm not gonna complain.

I have no hope
because I'm strung out on dope You tell me its almost the end of the rope
I see I'm not the only one who lost hope!

Mom I don't mean to hurt you
I just wish you would wake-up and realize.......
YOUR DAUGHTER IS HURTING TOO!
