I'm not proud that he is mine
I'm not proud that he's a waste of space
That he's already turned to crime

I'm tired of being tired
I'm tired of the rows
I'm tired of giving him chance after chance
And the benefit of the doubt

I feel weak for all the conflict
I feel weak through lack of sleep
I feel weak through all the worry
That his problems are too deep

But I'll be strong because I love him
I'll be strong, I will not lose
I'll be strong 'cause I will guide him
So a better life he'll choose [comments] => 5 [counter] => 220 [topic] => 43 [informant] => AliB [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Alot of emotion there.... My cousins were rowdy and I remember my uncle going through hell with them. Your poetry was well done. I'd like to read perhaps a bit of guilt in your part in the writting. At the end you touched very briefly on it. Well hang in there and never give up.....

Oh, how i can empathize with you dear.
For I had a daughter and a son that ran away.
I blamed myself for years on end...until finally I decided no matter what it is that I could have done........for them it simply wouldn't have won......they were both running to badness no matter what I did. I wasn't as courageous as you I finally gave in!
But hang in there....maybe yours will come through! I'm so very sorry, because I can feel for you!
This poem was written very well....even though it opened a wound for me.....I hope it helped you expell all he venom you feel as well!

Its ok to feel frustrated and alone. You show your love for your son by standing by him no matter what. You could teach some mums a thing or too!!
This is emotional, touching and incrediably well written. Awesome poem

Love Dawny x
