Mother
The fact is that you did not raise me
You neglected me
You betrayed me
You left me there to figure it all out on my own
Alone and no where to really call a home
I cant recall the good
Just a lot of the bad
Late nights
A drink in your hand
The slurring of your speech
The constant battle of you falling asleep
I can’t help but hate you
Even though you’re my mom
The love of a mother
Is like no other
The love I received
Was filled with toxicity and greed
Taking dollar after dollar from my own father
You never cared about me
You cared only about what you received
I can’t help but be defiant
I never felt like you were trying to be a mother
A mother who was there for her children
A mother who was sober to see them grow
A mother who cared and it really showed
It’s sad for me to say I don’t love you
But that love is almost gone
You have betrayed my trust
Time and time again
I don’t know where you let it all go wrong
