Do you understand me when i talk to you

Or do you think I'm to young to know what I want to do

Don't tell me of my sins when you have your own

I remember the men that you use to bring home

You where still with Dad, and he never knew

Was it that you never loved him, is that really true

He only saw the one, should i tell him about the others

You have put too much pain in my sisters and brother

I have to see you against my will

And you think i do it because i love you like that still

I do love you, but no longer as my mom

Because what you did is very wrong

Divorce is not an option when you are caught cheating

Did you tell your friends about your kids who you where beating

You still have worries, and problems of your own

So why do you always take me from my home

I miss my family and all my friends

I don't know anyone here, just you and your new husband Ben

I am not being rude, I am staying strong

Because you hurt me all day long

When i see your face it makes me think of the past

It sends pain all over my heart so very fast

But I can leave now my time is up

You tell me "Bye mijo, tell everyone i said sup"

Don't you get it, that everything is not OK

I just want you to stay away

Try to understand, don't act innocent

Pay attention and try to listen

    Nick, that was unbelievable. Wow...I hope that's not a true story. Omg, I'm so sorry. That almost made me want to cry more than any other poem I've read yet. Babe that was wonderful. Keep your head up, talk to me if it'll make you feel better
