Every day, and every night,
I mess up and I lose this fight.
I try to pry my eye away,
But my mind seems to want to stay.
I've tried so hard to be so good,
Tried to do what I knew I should,
But, still, I know I've let you down,
I see the way you look and frown.
When you think I can't see your face,
And you assume your gloom's erased.
I'm trying so hard to control,
But these reigns are hard to hold.
All I want to do, is try to make you proud,
Look forward to the day, when I can take my bow.
But, I always fail you so...
Mom, do you still love me, though?
-Lo Ruhamah
Wow, emotional write! It is a horrible feeling when you disappoint a parent. The worst thing in the world for me is to know that I caused disapointment to my parents. This poem flows very well, you did a wonderful job expressing yourself.
Take care and write on!

What a courageous piece of work! I do hope I find time to read more of your work.
