Remember Me?


Where were you when I needed a friend? Someome to talk to To help me Things were changing so fast Times were tough I counted on you But you were no where to be found Always yelling Disappearing into the night You left me to fend for myself Like an animal Hating myself And begging for sympathy Like a homeless But I have a house Food and water Clothing on my back You give all that is expected All but your presence You take the vibe of happiness from the air Like a thief But I know better I will not accuse you Of the hurt that I endure I just beg you to come back And remind me of who I am Of whom I've come from And of where I'm going Re-align my path in life And shine the light at the end So I can walk this path Jog and run All 'till it's worn out 'Till I've reached the end And I have lived my life. Please come back, mom.

I dont understand your pain, but through this poem you made me feel some of your hurt. This may not mean much but.. for whatever its worth , I am sorry for the pain you are enduring... just remember it will get better.
