PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you look at me

but you don't see

what I strive to be

I try to be the best

or at least better than the rest

but I always seem to fail your tests

no it's not cause I'm dumb

and stop calling me a lazy bum

I'm just tired of this,I'm done

you were always on the run

we never had time for fun

but you did know some funny puns

what I'm trying to say

is that even though you were my mom

you were never really my mother

yo weren't ever around

you hated being home

and you really hated being alone

but that didn't matter to you

when you had places to go

you would leave me to stay home alone

you know like a good little girl does

watch the animals and walk the dogs

damn it seems like I was your servant

or your housekeeper but never

not once did you treat me with respect

or dignity and never as your daughter

sometimes I wonder if I'm even yours

or maybe your actions are because you didn't want me

either way all I seem to do is get in your way

and this is why I must go far away
