You look at me, but you never see me.
All you see is a failure.
I'm not smart enough,
or cute enough,
or anything enough for you.
To you I'm just a nothing.
I'm someone you're stuck with,
someone that doesn't matter,
someone you can push away and ignore.
You talk to me when you choose to,
you're nice to me when you need something.
Your boyfriend is more important than me,
your job is too.
You're stuck in your little world.
You tell me I need to grow up,
when you're the one that should.
To you your son is perfect,
and you're really proud of him.
What you dont see if that I'm just as good,
and maybe even better.
All I want is for you to see me.
All I want is for you to care.
All I want is your attention, and your praise,
even though to you, I'm not worth it.
So when you're old and dying,
dont look to me for any pity.
You looked the other way when I asked for your help.
You said you cared, but then forgot.
You made promises you never kept.
You made me cry, but you never knew it.
You said I was great, but I could see the lie.
You gave me praise that wasn't sincere.
You make me feel like nothing with just a look.
I'm not a nothing anymore.
I'm better than a nothing.
I'm better than you make me out to be.
I'm worth more than you could ever know.
Who's the nothing now, mom?

Woah.....

this was absolutely THE MOST POWERFUL poem I have been since coming out of the bushes recently. Hands down, you've got the flow and the gift to write.

I really do hope to read more from you

I left my wallet in El Segundo...
And I gotta get it
I got got to get it!

oh oh oh.... i realy loved it. I could FEEL every word.
I am sorry about your mom. sometimes i get that feeling towards mine, but only sumtimes. I used to feel that way towards my Father. A part of me still does. He has apoligized, but it will never take back all the hurt.
Very "groovy" write. ~lol~
