You must first know where to start...

I was born to a young naive girl
My mom was not at all great
She is quite irresponsible
And most often late

She cares though
Even though she fails at showing it
I have learned that the hard way
Just bit by bit

For I grew up with her
And two other sisters
The way we fought
Had to leave blisters

The fact of the matter is
That I survived it all
Looking back on it
It feels so very small

For it feels like an eternity has passed
Since I have even heard her voice
But I blamed myself
Because leaving was my choice

Now I understand that the fault is not mine
It never was
This realization knocked me cold off my feet
All I saw was constant fuzz

For I finally understood
Something that I for so long held in
Was not my burden
Not my sin

So all that happened
In my past
I could not control it
My heart was free at last

For finding answers
To your nightmares
Lets you see hope you once lost
And find who really cares

So today I stand still broken at the seams
Slowly healing my lost and withered dreams...

This is so sad and emotionally charged... I felt your pain as I read along.... I think you know she does care...even tho she cannot or does not show it.
You should talk to her... Be strong...
Good write

yes! (clenches fist). this is precisely what i've been telling you! you've been shouldering the burden of regret in your family for too long. now you can build on this truth, and make the life for yourself that you deserve!

with all my love,
phil
