A Letter to My Mom

Through the broken promises, broken hearts, and broken glass I still strive to make the best out of what He has given me Through deep cuts, bloody scrapes, and unbearable aches I still attempt to keep my head up for you to see Wipe away my makeup and look past my careless attitude I am just a young girl looking for someone to love me Sometimes when I think about the past I get angry But then I realize you did what was best for me I feel as if you gave up on life, gave up on me Gave up on the joyful pleasure of being my mother Gave up on guiding me in the right direction Gave up on teaching me how to be great like another A mother's unconditional love was all I ever expected from you Nothing more, nothing less But the way you left me in the darkness didn't reflect that Instead it just made me wonder why I wasn't blessed with the best I've seen you at your best and also at your worst I am your mirror image, your shadow But I definitely don't want to follow in your footsteps And that's something you should already know There's a great difference in being a mama and a mother Whichever you are, you will always be my heart But you should get a grip on reality now And establish life at a new start
