Dear Mom,


To young to defend for myself

To weak to live without a mother

But all you thought about was yourself

Leaving a sister and a brother

You chose a world that was not for me

Doing drugs to find relief

You left so far feeling over sea

You stole my heart like a expert thief

Using me only to get child support

Keeping me no matter how hard dad fought

But it wasn’t very funny when we ended up in court

It got so bad you had to get a mug shot

Its been 10 years now without my mother

No one to tell about my life

No one to tell about my lover

You wont be there when I’m a wife

Or when I have children of my own

They wont have their real grandmother

You aren’t their when I call you on the phone

At least ill always have my stepmother

Ill always have hope that someday you’ll change

Thank you for teaching me who I don’t want to be

But until then you can keep the change

Love you sincerely me
