Mommy

Sorry I'm not as perfect as you wanted,
But it doesn't get much better than this.
Sorry I'm such a disappointment,
And that there's not much to miss.

Mommy why can't you accept me,
What have I done wrong?
Mommy why can't you look me in the eyes,
I can't stay strong this long.

I try to be all you ever wanted,
But I don't have it in me.
I just want you to be proud,
Could you even tell me what it is you don't see?

Mommy why can't you appreciate me,
I try as hard as I can.
Mommy why can't I be good enough,
Why did you even have to sleep with that man?

Have you ever wished me gone,
Or for me to no be around?
Have you ever wished me unborn,
Maybe even six feet under ground?

--Be careful of what you wish for..*
