Mother

This is a poem I wrote about my relationship with my mother. Or should I say non-relationship.

Mother

Mother you gave away your baby.
That baby was me.
I wish you were there, if you could only see.

The loneliness and sadness I felt as a child.
Wondering what was wrong with me.

Then as I grew the anger set in.
How could a mother do this, it was a sin.
I rebelled as a youth and started to drink.
The bar was my solace.

I met a guy and fell in love.
I thought he felt the same.
he took my love and shattered my heart.
Then he walked out the door.
I turned to drugs and was never happy.
then I became with child, I knew I must stop being wild.

I met a young man, he was handsome and nice.
Not knowing my past strife.

One night he appeared at my door and now we are forever more.

So Mother as you can see, you took no interest to get to know me.
now I am grown and with my own life.
I will keep in touch.

Even though you never thought of me much.
