Some things
Are not forgotten
Even with time
Passing by
Like when I watched
At such a young age
My father drink and beat my mom
Simply because he "loved her"
My mom is an angel
Yet she was doomed from the start
Being a serious alcohol addict
Since age 15
Getting pregnant with me at age 16
She never knew true love
Her parents lives revolved around money
They showed no love
towards their beautiful daughter
They blamed her for being ****** up
But in all reality
It was all because of them
My mom wanted love
My dad gave her it
Thinking he was destined to fix her
But how could he fix her if
He was also broken?
My mom
Addicted to drugs and alcohol
Was in and out of rehab
Back when I was in middle school
I was so young and didn't understand
The concept and struggle of addiction
So I hated my mom
I believed she left me
At the time a girl needs her mom
The most
I was alone and had no one by my side
Some things are not easily forgotten
Like when I watched my mom
Cut her arms until she was bleeding on
The floor
When I watched her make herself throw up
When I watched her drink herself blind
These things
Are forever implanted in my mind
