Dear Mother


Dear mother 
All these words can ever make up for how I feel
Words can't describe how sorry I am 
Sorry is an understatement
But all I can say is I'm sorry
Sorry for all the tears I made you shed
Sorry for all the heartbreaks you went through because of me
Sorry for not being the daughter you deserve
Sorry for being a reminder of a nightmare
Sorry for all the arguments we had
Sorry for my out of control attitude 
Sorry for all the talkbacks
I'm sorry 
You deserve better 
But I need you to know that I love you
Despite the way I act 
Despite all the times you thought I hated you 
The truth is I love you
The truth is that it hurts
The truth is I'm trying
The truth is I'm scared
Scared to show you all of me
Scared of disappointing 
Scared of showing how I feel 
Mother 
I love you like no other 
But you deserve better 
Sorry for how I've made you feel
