Her mother, 2 words, 1 meaning

by iloveyouandrew   May 20, 2008


I once knew this little girl
She loved to eat skittles
and play all by herself

She was a happy soul
A joy to be around
She barley ever frowned

She loved her daddy
He was her life
She loved her mommy
But her mom was always frowning at her

The little girl never knew why
All she wanted was to be
close with her mother
and for her mother to love her

When this little girl got older
Something happened
she wasn't a happy soul anymore
She turned into a dark soul

In her head she knew why she was like that
Even a fool could tell you
Two words, 1 meaning
Her mother

Her mother left her
Said she didn't want nothing to do with the little girl
"I hope you die"
Were her exact words
"But why mommy, why do you want me to die"?
Her mother paused for a minute

"I'll tell you why
because your
worthless
no good
stupid
fat
bratty
Your a soul that was never meant to be born, god made a mistake when he created you child"
And walked out the door, slamming the door in her crying child's face

Her father came to her rescue
She buried her head in his chest
She loved him best
He told her not to listen to any of what she just heard
Because her mother was absurd

Ever since that day
the little girl heard those words
She has never been the same
Sometimes she says the words to herself
Because she thinks it's true

I know this so well
Because that little girl used to be me

    I'm not crazy about the title, but then, all my poems have ordinary titles, shor t one word. The story is great- very emotionsal and easy to understand. The emotions flowing through your words are truely overwhelming and deep, you can really feel it. Also, the writing itself is just great.

    kepp it up!

    This piece is overwhelmingly sad and the ending lines are simply heartbreaking.
    Very emotional poem that can deeply touch the reader. You created nice flow from the beginning to the end, too.
    I prefer more metaphorical poetry but I guess that we just have different writing styles. Nicely done, anyway.

    I am sorry. I know how it feels. My dad and i used to be really close but he just started to resent me and ruined that pretty sweet innocent girl I used to be. Hold your head up you will overcome this. Great poem strong message

    Unique title. Good poem. It was like a story. But, I'm not going to downrate ya for that. I write story like poems also. Although yours is probably more of a poem. Anyway! Loved the emotions in this also. And, this was sad..did you mean for it to be under the love & romance category? ... 5/5
