The following poem was quoted by a Psychologist's patient who wrote it for her mother on Mother's Day.
"You never tucked me in
at night or sang a special song,
You never kissed my boo boos
or told me I belong.
You never sat down on my bed
to help me get to sleep
or came and dried my tears
when you would see me weep.
You never held me close so I
could feel your heartbeat next to mine,
Or ran your hand across my
face memorizing my design.
You never took the time to
read a bed-time story so I could dream
of a far off place and land
where the good was as it seemed.
You never cared that I
couldn’t eat the food upon my plate
or that I could hardly
swallow from the throat sores that would not abate.
You never shielded me from
ugly, in fact, you are the one that I struggle with the most and fear that I
will become;
The little girl that you gave
life, who never left you side,
You took her and you ruined
her and did nothing while she died.
I remember now, though I would rather forget
How you twisted things and
kept me in fear,
How you never put me first
And I remember ugly things
you said that no one else should ever hear.
It's taken all these years to
put together what you did
To try and understand the
things but I can assure you you've nothing to really fear, because I will never
tell,
The words you used and you
abused and caused my life to feel like hell.
Where do I start? How do I
say Happy Mother's day, to the one who used me for herself, in such cruel and
disgusting ways?
Happy Mother's day to you
mother, the monster that you are,
The one who never saw me and
made my life bizarre."
