I Didn't Realize
She didn't care for me,
my mother did not.
I wasn't enough to be considered,
wasn't worthy of her time.
I didn't realize how my mother,
really did love me,
grew with hatred for her,
ate away my childhood.
So I grew up,
and I did the same for my daughter.
Ignored and tore her down,
just like how I thought my mother did.
I didn't realize at the time,
and I can't go back,
I sit here in despair,
watching my destroyed daughter and mother.
