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?
