Thank you.


Thank you for always doubting me, 

because it taught me never to doubt myself.

Thank you for always criticizing me 

for through your criticisms I saw my strengths.

Thank you for always pushing me away 

because of your avoidance I learned there were others that loved me.

Thank you for always bad mouthing me 

because you showed everyone your own flaws.

Thank you for never believing in me 

because now I live to prove you wrong.

Thank you mom.

<p>Woah some lines sound a bit like my hubby. It&#39;s sad when children think like this of mom. Some mothers really can be bad. You express that dramatically creatively. Kudos for the poetic effects. Hope u still get love from all else and maybe try to wake up love in her.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div>I see comments are not common here yet do Pleez do write your thoughts/comments on my newest poem too like I have done on yours.&nbsp;</div>
