It was all about you Mum

by Dayna   Nov 1, 2006


"Why is it that I need you here?
Although I know that you no longer love me.
I don't want you.
Not in any way.
Maybe it isn't even you that I need.
Maybe... it's just what you stand for.
My mother.
You are no longer my mother in my eyes.
A mother.
A mother figure.
I don't know.
Someone who is meant to love their daughter unconditionally.
But you didn't.
Did you Mum?
If you did, you wouldn't have done those things that you did to me.
You wouldn't have taken away the one person I loved more than anyone.
My baby girl.
Well my sister at least.
But even you got that confused, didn't you Mum?
You called her my baby.
And you know why?
Because you never acted like she was your child.
I treated her like mine.
You don't deserve someone as beautiful as that little girl you call your own.
Now.
You don't deserve to be able to hold her like i did.
You don't deserve to be the one to kiss her goodnight.
Or stroke her hair with those same hands you struck me with as she falls asleep.
One day when she's older.
She'll know the truth about you Mum.
And she'll stop believing the poisonous little lies that you crept into her ear.
She'll know that it was you and NOT me that caused the hurt.
I love her Mum.
And one day. she'll be my little baby girl again.
And she'll be safe.
But it's your loss you know?
You should have stopped when you said you would.
Forgiveness has it's limits.
And it took so many years for my store to run out.
But you know what?
What you said about me?
That I wont amount to anything?
You're wrong Mum.
I'm great.
And so are my two precious sisters.
I'll love them forever and look after them because i know you wont.
And we'll continue to be great.
With or without you.
I don't want you back."

    This isn't well structured and I know it, it was more about letting out pent up anger than anything else.
