Mother, I know that you left me for a new found purpose. But now we've slipped away.
Every day passed,
****** away.

She was your new found love.
And 4 kids to count.
0 days notice.
2 of your own you left hungry and alone in that house.
Those days still take a toll on me.
Below 0 in Albany.

Are we okay?
Remember the day the doctor diagnosed me?
You called dad and looked right through me.
"He's depressed"
And what did he call me?
"You little *****"
Words and abuse I've oppressed.
Maybe that's why you both left.

Was it me?
I was only fifteen.
Barely old enough to understand the world around me.
I remember waking up screaming.
Staying up, wondering.
Why you left me.
When you left me.

But mother, I know you left me for a new found purpose.
And a mothers love is just something I don't need.
I think I came out fine. Even after you left me.
Im happy to say that some people love me for me.
I don't need you.....


Why did you leave me?
