Mama

To Mommy

I understand why you did it
I understand the struggle you went through
But it doesnt make it hurt any less.

I was only little
A little girl
crying out for her Mommy.

But she was never there.

Yes I had daddy
and I had my step mom.
But they weren't you!

Daddy Always telling me
To grow up
Even when I was only 7!

Step mom always doting
On my brother, her son.
Always telling me
How I was nothing but A stress in her life.

I understand now
Why you werent there.
I wont go into it.

But tell that to 5 year old Nikkie,
10 year old me!
The little girl who missed her mama
Screaming out for her attention.

I know why you werent there

But it doesnt make the Pain
from all those years without you
Just go away.

And whats worse...
You dont even feel bad.

Hard for the children to understand the action of the parent. Even with old age. We remember. I felt the sadness and the disappointment in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This is sad Fenix. I'm sorry your mother wasn't there for you. This made me cry just thinking of it.
