The Feelings I Have Toward My Forever Mommy

I wrapped my arms around my knees
As the tears started to fall
You see what you want to see
When you hear the doubt in my voice
You blow it off and then have the gall
To come in at the wee hours of the morning
And act like everything’s good and dazzling...

I don’t even bother to say
That you promised to be right back
I don’t even bother to say
How much it hurts when you want to do crack
Instead of being home
I don’t even bother to say
How it makes me feel spasms of alone...

They wash over me
And then I feel stupid
Because I know it’s irrational-
I know I have other family
Who can make the hurt under control and stable
And I know that it has nothing to do with me
I know that you can’t help it
But it doesn’t stop the hurt and pain in my heart
Like I’ve just been hit
In the chest with a five-hundred pound rock

Nobody gets why that is
Why I know that it’s not my fault
But it still throws salt
On my injured heart
When she says she’ll be right back
And then the tears start
They think I should be used to it by now
That I should just accept it and move on
But it still hurts and it leaves me scarred somehow

People say you just have to pick yourself up
And move on with your life
But how do you move on
When you feel like you’ve been stabbed by a knife
Every couple of days
When you’re scared that your supposed-to-be icon
Is the one that makes your heart weigh
Five-hundred pounds

It’s easier said than done to just pick yourself up
And keep on moving
Let’s just say it’s not as easy as watching the sun rising

And so I cried a lot
But most of it I did inside
For now I’m stronger to hold them in
Until she’s hurt me one time too many
And I know that a part of me
Will always be hurting
Because she will forever be my mommy

despite the hurt and sadness which comes through your words, this is a beautifully loving poem~~

If true, you do the best you can and if need be write it out and seek some help although I can tell from your words that you  don't take any blame~~ a good sign.

I think this poem showcases your compassion and incredible strength.  You appear to have a very realistic view and you write about your reality well.  I am seeking out your poems now because you touch me.

Thank you allison.... I'm on the verge of tears, because 4 u 2 say that..... It just means so much more than i can say.... truly and from the bottom of my heart, thank you 4 those simple words.... because i believe every writer/poet wants 2 hear those words that u wrote, whether on paper or in person

Always,
