Sorry.
I know we've lost touch lately,
more like the last four years or so.
It makes me tremble thinking about it.
I love you, you should know; I tell you daily.
But I wish I could show you more.
Pushing you away, I don't like you seeing me hurt.
I am really, really hurt. and I can only fix myself.
But, God, I just want to be coddled.
Growing older, I'm not sure how much more coddling I will get from you in this lifetime.
I'm sorry.
I should clean my hair more often, go to school maybe once a week, and do more than drown in my self pity.
And I swear to God, I will.
I'll give you a reason to be proud, just wait and see.
Because you are my reason, and I must repay.
It's time to grow up.
I am well aware you won't be here forever.
So nows the time to fix this stand still relationship.
Thank you so much for not giving up on me when everyone else had, for loving my unconditionally when no one else does, thank you, thank you, oh and, I love you, mom.

Could use a bit of tweaking to be considered as 'Readable Poetry', (just my opinion)!

This isn't actually what I would consider poetry, hence why I put it in prose...I guess.

Given the context of the rest of the poems here, this is really very touching, the more so since I never got the impression you were trying to make it so. Lonnie should keep his 'opinions' to himself and try doing some critique (also reading some labels - nice put down!) R.
