My mother
My mother
21 NOVEMBER 2015, 06:14 AM
it all started years ago
my mother was a drunk
here sits a child alone
unfed and left to cry
thrown away like old debris
not wanted or be cared
no change of clothes soiled
didn't even bother to try
left in a room for days
my screams echoed empty void
darkness was my only friend
could you tell me why
dropped upon my fragile head
what mother does such things
i'm not sure I deserved
To be left to die

No you didn't deserve that. It's very unusual for a Mother to feel this way, not having a bond with her child.
