What Happened?

This is a letter to my Mama named Tari

Even though you hurt me even though you scared me

I want you to know that i still love you

Even though you did things you didnt have to do

I still love you more than you can even fathom

I want you to know i love you more than you imagine

I'm an understanding person you know

Even as I recall being beaten or thrown

And filled with hate

Which caused my soul to ache

I love you Mom

I said I love you Mom

you did the best that you could do for me mom

You couldve killed me if you wished

That would've shut me up like I'd be pleading the fifth

Mom what happened to you?

Were you messed up or were YOU abused?

Were you messed up in your head?

Did your dad lead you down a path you didnt want to be lead?

Did you have DD or even bipolar?

Were you the pins and you dad was the bowler?

Laying a strike on you every day and night?

Did you stand up for yourself or did you lose the fight?

What happened to you my mom?

Were you just a walking time bomb

Did you have the spport that you needed?

Or perhaps you thought you did not need it?

Mom what happened to you?

were you messed up or were YOU abused?
