mom--

i wish i could run away into my mind and never come back
because its the only place that i am truly loved

i wish you knew how it felt
to be as powerless as i am right now

i am sick of weekends that go on for months
nights spent crying myself to sleep
and days wishing i wre never born

im sick of never being in control
of watching you drive my life a thousand miles away
when all i want is to stay where i am

i want you to smile at me, even if it's fake
and wipe away the tears and pain that live in my heart

i want to know you love me and to try to love you back
but right now im just so broken that i dont know if i can

i need someone to care instead of leaving me alone
and letting darkness eat away the light

i need for you to stop and think
that i am beautiful in my own way.

(i hope you know how many times youve made me cry
the dread i feel when i see your face
the things i used to do because of you
they say words can't hurt, but thats a lie )

this is really good, causing emotions to lift through the reader is a good thing for writers.

if the meaning of this poem is unclear, I can explain it. basically, my mom is constantly putting me down and trying to change who I am and make me into a “perfect” person. I don’t think she realizes how much it hurts me but she will never listen when I try to tell her. For a long time I have wanted someone to be there for me but she never is…this is the letter that she will never read, explaining what she has done to me.
