My mom was in jail for three months, and she just got out tonight. Its hard to explain the way I've been feeling about her... My best friend is lost Put away for doing wrong She shouldn't have done that Got herself in trouble Drugs lead her the wrong way I told her thats what they would do- Drugs are no good Did she listen? No she didnt And now shes in jail No where to be seen She wanted me to come visit her She wanted me to write She wanted me to talk on the phone But it was too late She lost my confidence in her That only a mother could have I looked up to her for all my life And now all my faith in her is lost She lost the most important thing That she could ever have Her childs faith in her How could she do that? No body knows I wish I had the answers... Shes back at home now But still hasn't gained her childs faith She said she had time to think That now she knows whats important Its not drugs Or her friends, Or money, Instead its her child Her child is now her number one priority So she says Do I believe that? After all the lies After all the faith that was lost Do I believe it? My best friend is lost... |

i see and feel your pain here. see i use to do drugs and i found this girl and she changed me and i stoped for her and i saw how much of my life i messed up from them and now i'm fighting for that time back. and it hurts me even more seeing my best friend still doing them to calm his depression about his life and i myself don't know how to help him without loseing him as my best friend. I'm the lord, I'm the havoc, I'm the soul |

Jeremiah- First of all, thanks for reading my poem! I'm glad you stopped doing drugs and saw how much they can really mess up your life. As for your friend, thats hard. I dont know what to tell you, he really needs to stop that though, before something bad happens to him, I hope he realizes that before its too late... |

QTpieOmy: This is a quite a sad poem for the fact that you have lost faith in your mother. You must remember though that as much as you may feel that she has betrayed you and hurt you, people can change. Voice of experience right here. I can not begin to understand the pain that you are going through. I hope that everything works out alright. ~AF~ "Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement." Christopher Fry |

This is so sad...losing faith in the one you trusted most. I hope one day it can be restored. |

well penned poem. sometimes when people try to do free verse, it comes out all wrong. but you have composed a well written one with a strong rhythm. as for your mom, i do believe she deserves a 2nd chance. because if she's telling you the truth, then she has come to grips with some of the most painful and frightening emotions that not only she has faced, but ones that anyone can face. People change their minds all the time, their hearts; not so often. She knows this is her 2nd chance and possibly her last. i say give it to her. if she has faced her demons, then she has earned it. We all got somethin' we need to atone for. |

I admire your courage for writing this. Being a poet is sometimes the only way to handle situations that cause us great pain. People make mistakes. Mothers are no different. Love her. Forgive her. Give her another chance. You won't regret it, I promise you! Sometimes taking drugs is a way to cover up a deeper pain....allow her to talk to you...be ]b]her[/b] friend! You will be glad you did. I like your poem by the way! Look forward to reading more from you.  |

first and foremost, i appluade for being able to pen your thoughts on paper...that must have been a hard one to write...  i agree with the rest...find it within you to give her another chance...families are the people who we are stuck with for the rest of our lives(whether we like it or not LOL) and she must be feeling real rotten and vulnerable about herself....stick with her...(she probably needs your support now)...and blaze all obstacles togetheri wont pretend i understand your pain...i dont...but i do hope that everything will turn out just fine regards |
