F I write about things I'm too scared to say out loud
When you are a mother.. You talk but don't listen You spew hate and but dislike haters You want to be loved but don't love You listen to sermons on compassion then you scream at your kid when they tell you they're depressed ....or is that just my mother? My mother loves to cry but lacks empathy She quotes this book of life and almost let me take mine..... She mocks happy couples but is clinging to her broken marriage She wants respect but doesn't respect others She hates judgy people but calls women ****** She hates a messy house but is a hoarder She thinks she's dying but is in perfect physical health My mother...... Drives down a one way road and think everyone else is going the wrong way One day her mental illness will run everyone away... leaving her not be able to make excuses for her actions.

When you are a mother
I hope you know that I love you... even when I'm a crying mess even when my lungs start skipping breaths you're the one I run too I'm sorry that my mind plays games... I don't want to be the broken one I hate that PTSD crumbles me I love that you always look at me the same I hope you always see the person inside I love you with all my heart for once in a long time, I don't want to die But there will always be a part of me that wonders when you'll leave when all my quirks will turn to flaws when I am just a burden when you start to say "I" not we...
