What does it mean?! Well...


What does it mean?! Well...where do I start? What does is mean to breathe air? What does it mean to fall in love? What does it mean to care? What does it mean to get a hug? What does it mean to be angry? What is it mean to have release? It means the world to me, but will can you stay and listen please? I don't know how to say or how to express, about the thing that is to the left of my chest. My heart is what I write and my heart is who I am. My heart wants you but you don't give a damn. I know who you are but you don't know me. You don't want to but I'll make you see. You're my mom and I love you so much. But you won't listen to me or even touch. I have a lot to give and I have a lot in my mind. So thank you for listening and being so kind. Wait I'm not done, don't start to walk away. I'm here to tell you the thing that completes my day. I'm not so great with words (as you can tell) but I need you to hear me even if I have to yell. I need you to stay and I need you to see. I need your attention and your sympathy. For those are things I don't get a lot from you, unless I'm in trouble or have the flu . But that doesn't happen. And that is why you are here. And this is why I write. So that you will stay near.
