Dear Mom

by Shila   Feb 8, 2006


Dear Mom,
I never want to hurt you
But you say I always do
You tell me what a failure I’ve been
And how I never listen to you
You say I am lazy
And break things ‘round the house
Yet, can you hear me screaming?
It’s as though the words never left my mouth.
You hurt me when you say things
Things I know you mean
If it’s about my lifestyle
Or how the house isn’t perfectly clean
This is just a farewell note
For you once I’ve gone
So you know why I hurt myself
So you know where I’ve really gone wrong
It wasn’t just your yelling
It wasn’t just my tears
It was you telling me “get over it”
After the abuse in endured for fifteen years
