Tough Love

[i]Love is tough, but it's even tougher trying to love someone who doesn't love themselves. More importantly, it's tougher to try to love your own mother when she loves her addiction more. Not taking into consideration the weight she's placing. Me being the oldest, I catch the worse part of it. She takes her withdrawal out on me. She takes her side effects out on me. But really? What's making her so blind that she can't see what she's doing to me? All the pain and resentment I keep bottled inside because no matter what I say or ask her she always tells me lies. I'm filled with pain that I try to hide, but now I just can't keep it inside. Instead of being dumb, I write this shit down. I'm ready to skip town and find someone new to be around. I wanna get as far as I can. She's my mom and I love her, but shit man, I'm doing all I can.[/i]
