Mom
+9Mom,
Do you ever really see inside,
how i’m so alone
ever since daddy died?
You see this lively girl.
Why don’t you step in my shoes,
huh? Give it a whirl.
You’ll see my blackened heart.
Not so lively, you see.
Black by all those I’ve had to part.
Living inside my screwed up mind.
In here it’s really dark.
You’d know if you took the time,
to get to know your final seed.
How amazing I seem on the outside.
Yet, how many times I think to leave.
I never do.
I couldn’t leave Jessica,
or even you.
Work and pain slowly drive you away.
No matter how hard you fight it,
you can never really stay.
It’s a challenge, fighting for your attention,
It went to great measures,
5th grade I got a detention.
You probably never thought that was on purpose.
Any attention from you was good.
Bad stuff didn’t get me nervous.
It was a chance to see you.
Then you broke off from work for a while,
PHEW.
I missed you so much.
I think I was a little clingy.
I didn’t mean to make a fuss.
I’m just glad your back.
Your here to stay,
never to fall off the beaten track.
Now you can look farther into my mind.
You’ll brighten it up,
if you give it some time…
