I know this poem is long but it took me like an hour to write it, and I'm pretty proud of it. so please take the time to read and rate.
Hey mom, will you take a walk with me?
Just you and me walking down this street
Like old times remember?
Let me take you back to 1994
I was four years old with a heart of gold.
You forgave every mistake I made
I did not want those nostalgic times to fade.
Remember the time I kicked Ainsley’s tooth out?
And it flew on to the hardwood floor
I knew you wanted to scream, but I was only four.
You held your tongue, and fought back your anger
Because you did not want me to feel like I was in danger.
Now lets go to 1996,
I had learned all new types of tricks,
Like wandering into the woods without letting you know
Oh I know how I scared you so.
I came in the house and you were furious
I knew I should have told you where I was going
But it did not cross my mind because I was curious.
I started to cry because I made you sad
But you took me in your arms and said you were not mad.
I slept that night with nothing lingering on my chest
Just a clear mind and peaceful breaths.
Onward to 2001
My circle of trust had started to come undone.
I was eleven, I think a more tender age
Because you started to justify turning the page.
I failed a sixth grade history test
I was so upset because I knew I did my best.
But B’s were not good enough in your eyes,
I was worried what you would say so I made up lies.
You wanted perfection at such an early time
I do not think you could make up your mind.
That was the first time I thought I truly let you down
It was also the first time you turned the table around.
Now the year is 2005
Things have gotten worse, surprise surprise.
I cannot find the words to express how sorry I am
That I cause you such disappointment…damn.
You think I get more and more selfish by the day
And try as I might, I cannot make your opinion go away.
But you will not listen to anything I say
I have tried to tell you in every way.
I hate that I cannot talk to you any more
Because you turn my words against me for another score.
If I try to tell you why I cannot talk,
You find an excuse and say it is not your fault.
I cannot help the situation were in
Maybe once were ready we can go to the start again.
I do not think things can be the way they were
But we can try real hard to find a cure.
Do not get me wrong, you have been a great mother
I just miss all the other times we shared together.
And although things seem to be getting worse
I know they will get better cause we can break this curse.
