I remember as a kid you suffered a lot You pushed me away I thought you hated my guts You said I wasn't good enough I felt like that for a while Little did I know those feelings stayed with me till this age Now, I can only accept crumbs from people that don't deserve me Mom, I forgive you because you didn't know better You just expressed the anger that you felt I wanna learn how to love myself And feel valuable again I know you've changed I know you want the best for me I need to let the past go and this is the reason I write you this poem
