Letter to My Mom.

Dear Mom, I know we don’t talk

But but just once, let’s go on a walk.

Maybe even get some tea

I want you to get to know me.

Mom, I know you’ve lived a hard life

You had to work, and go through oh so much strife.

But I want you to know,

That you’re my hero.

Despite this however,

It’s an important endeavour

That you try to understand

The next words that I say.

Mother, you have so much impact on my life.

Your words could cut me as if they’re a knife.

And you don’t even really realize that,

Sometimes you treat me as a doormat.

Your expectations they feel so high

In fact they’ve made me cry.

I’m not the smartest kid around

And nor can I become one, mentally sound.

I know I’m you try your best

But I feel the burden of this crest

Is far too great for me alone.

I get why you want me to

Do so well in everything too.

And I understand the issues

That your parents put you through

But I need you too see

That you are not me

You do not feel, or think

In any semblance that I do.

So mother dear, I hope you find

That I can not be the best

I am one who needs to rest

And I’m sorry not being able

To lift this burden off the table.
But mother know what I do,

That I will always love you.
