Mum I need you

I thank you for giving me a life,
even though you couldn't stay,
I hold some memories of you,
here deep in my heart today,

I wish that I could tell you,
the wonderful things I've seen,
and all the special places,
that I have ever been,

Done alot of things in my life,
some were right, some wrong,
I've learnt from experience,
which has made me strong,

I've met some wonderful people,
so I don't regret my life at all,
I know you found it hard to cope,
from when I was really small,

I wish that I could talk to you,
about mother and daughter stuff,
when things are really happy,
and when life is feeling tough,

If you could see me now,
and knew all the things I've done,
I know you would be so proud,
of the woman I have become,

I miss you so much sometimes,
that I cry myself to sleep,
I try to get you out of my mind,
but the pain is in too deep,

Not many people understand me,
but I love them cos they try,
I think it's you that I need,
to find out all the reasons why,

I know you're not coming back,
I'm holding onto a dream and a lie,
I won't hold you back, I'll let you go,
So mum I love you and goodbye xx xx

My mum abandoned me, I ended up in care. She doesn't want to know me but i'm fine.
