[hometext] => My mother and I had a rocky relationship I've tried to put my anguish into this.
[bodytext] => Hard to believe we shared the same blood And you did me more harm than good I never lived up to your expectation You only brought me up as an obligation Everything I did was wrong But somehow I managed to soldier on I find myself alone and scared to go to bed You said the demons I saw were all in my head And as I grew up I started to lose my mind I hated and loved you at the same time They were turbulent times as I hit my teens You and I could fight over a tin of beans When I came home from school I dreaded your moods You could be cold and angry and to my friends you were rude You pushed me too far in your drunken rage And you never made it to a grand old age You drank too much to numb your pain And when everyting went wrong it was me to blame I held on tight to that bag of chemicals in my hand And the fumes sent me off to the Motherland I went off the rails I didn't care It took me away from the nightmares Things turned bad and our fights got worse Life was never a blessing only a curse But I pulled myself together and got on track And when I left home I swore I'd never go back You took ILL later on as you began to mellow And your skin turned a sickly shade of yellow I held onto your hand as you were close to meeting your fate I said " I love you Mum" but it seemed too late All the hatred and anger I had deep inside It all disappeared when you finally died I know you are happy and in the light And what made us so different made us so alike.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
