To my mom in another city


Dear Mom, 

How are you?

I wouldn't have a clue. 

Seeing you on facebook 

doesn't give me a true look

I should be hurt 

That you threw me in the dirt

But I'm doing well 

Absolutely amazing and swell

Thanks for not asking 

I hope you feel guilt everlasting 

What did you do?

How about a clue.

I didn't just magically end up here 

The truth is crystal clear

You think it's ok 

To just walk off and say 

"I know your my daughter and all"

But, "Your issue pile is too tall"

You dropped me off at this place 

With a smile on your face 

But, I'll be out soon 

Don't expect a sunny visit one afternoon 

I'm fine without you 

Because I know whats true 

That I am strong 

And didn't need your insults all along 

People love me regardless 

You are just heartless

Maybe this letter will give you another look.

Sincerely, Brooke
