Sometimes I wonder if I can do anything right Is it me Was a born in a way that enables me to do nothing right Or is it you Mom Will there ever be a day I can please you? To see a smile spread across your face once again Like wildfire across a dry forest As you say Good job. I'm so proud of you. Will that day ever come Or am I stuck here Left on my own to try to find a way On how to make you turn your head and look at me In a way that doesn't involve anger I've tried so many ways to get your attention Bad and good To get you to stay Studying hard Getting honor roll Running away Hurting myself Throwing tantrums Trying to end my own life But every other night You'd go out with your friends And leave me alone Alone with my thoughts Making me ask myself why I'm not good enough Why can't you just stay Why do you choose a drink over your own child? And why do you act like I'm the failure When you're the one Who keeps letting me down I want you to stay I want you to love me But you choose ***** And that's fine But in twenty years from now When you're lying alone in an empty bed Within a empty house With no one to call I want you to ask yourself if it was worth it If I was worth that couple of beers Or a few shots Or that well made margarita Because I won't be I'll be starting a new life Without you With a loving spouse And your beautiful grandchildren That you'll never see I love you mom But I'm much happier Without you

Dear Mom,
Sometimes I wonder if I can do anything right Is it me Was a born in a way that enables me to do nothing right Or is it you Mom Will there ever be a day I can please you? To see a smile spread across your face once again Like wildfire across a dry forest As you say Good job. I'm so proud of you. Will that day ever come Or am I stuck here Left on my own to try to find a way On how to make you turn your head and look at me In a way that doesn't involve anger I've tried so many ways to get your attention Bad and good To get you to stay Studying hard Getting honor roll Running away Hurting myself Throwing tantrums Trying to end my own life But every other night You'd go out with your friends And leave me alone Alone with my thoughts Making me ask myself why I'm not good enough Why can't you just stay Why do you choose a drink over your own child? And why do you act like I'm the failure When you're the one Who keeps letting me down I want you to stay I want you to love me But you choose ***** And that's fine But in twenty years from now When you're lying alone in an empty bed Within a empty house With no one to call I want you to ask yourself if it was worth it If I was worth that couple of beers Or a few shots Or that well made margarita Because I won't be I'll be starting a new life Without you With a loving spouse And your beautiful grandchildren That you'll never see I love you mom But I'm much happier Without you
Very emotional poem for me. "Poem". Well, it's not that good but it's raw and heart felt (and unedited lol). So yeah....I'll just leave this here.
