Terrific mom.
my mom has been by my side every time I was Having surgery. She adopted me even though I
was born with physical issues and loved me as her own child. She  always stood for my
well being. I will always love My Mom until the end of time.

Thank you for participating in this competition, kmattar.

Cold, I sought her warmth but froze.


She birthed, fed, and clothed me
kept me clean and taught me manners
Raised me on music, kept me safe
from many hazards
for that I'm thankful
but I always wish she'd loved me...

I was never enough, yet
always too much

and though the house was spotless
she wasn't one to hug
or talk much about anything other than
her
life of strife, riddled with liars

but at long last, I realized
that I could rise
higher than her standards
though never in her eyes

and the last of my tries
and the rest of my fucks

were given a while back
because I'd had enough

I've mostly given up

she's still around
and if she'd be real one measly time

I'd reconsider her being in my life

but she won't
and that's okay

I'm not sure she was mine
before I lost her, anyway

My mom has left
now I am confused,
how could she just leave
I feel so used.

More tears fall
I am back to square one,
I have had her all my life
she cant be done.

I am so lost
why did she leave,
I love her a lot
in this time of need.

She gave us all up
as if she didn't care,
she is part of me
a part I don't share.

My memories build up
just like my tears,
I don't like this
I'd rather her be near.

I have so much to say
but what should I do,
all I prayed for now
will never come true.

I will follow gods power
and do what is right,
I want to take my moms hand
and head into the light.

Its not the same
without a familiar face,
its now a dead stop
and no more race.

I shouldn't have done
what I did best,
I was troubled all these years
now look at this mess.

Does she love me
tell the truth and dont lie,
my body is curling up
please be here when I cry.

I enjoyed every moment
with my family and mom,
she wiped my tears
she was the best mom.

Now I am all alone
me against the world,
my body cries with fear
my heart begins to curl.

I will never forget
the love I had,
I have never been this down
at least I have a dad.

But its not the same
without her around,
I miss her every word
I miss her every sound.

No matter what
I give her my all,
now I just want her
to catch me when I fall.
