DID IT ALL
Location
When I was younger you sent me to my room and argued all night
you fight and I cried having every tear drone me
I wish I couldn't hear the glass breaking in the next room
Only to have me become angry and sad inside
to the point
That I started to let my emotions take over my life
with the drinks and parties I was lost without a clue
have me do it all in the sight of you
It's all your fault
the little girl became a reflection of you living the way you tried to teach me not to do
what ever happened to the
nice dinners that became a disaster
the silent nights became a night mare that I couldn't wake up from what happened to
the love that I didn't receive
and when I got older
I did it all
I sent my daughter to her room
and watch the flashbacks play
just liked it played in mine
so I did it all
JUST LIKE YOU MOM

This poem explains how parents can damage there children .Just when you think there to young to understand they might know more then what you think having that hurt and pain and being afraid as there children and make them grow up living to what they were brought up to .Looking in the mirror of what the parent did to them . and the cycle continue to go as they do it to there children .
I hope i was the voice of al those children who had to be silent and now as they grow up relive the eyes of the hurt of there parents
check out more of my poetry and hope it impacts your lives and please comment tell me how you feel about this poem .Thank you

i can only imagine the anger you have towards your mother
you don't have to be like your mother
you are imani-you might look like mom, but you are not your mom
make sure you have that inner strenght to break that cycle so you don't do the same to your kids
well said
