Unconditional

We came into this life together

                                             You are my mother, I your baby

                                                  As I grew, so did you

                                         Figuring out each new day, a new thing

                                        I grew up and changed, not just my look 

                                                   But who I became

                                          You changed to, as the years went by

                                        You watched as I grew, took my first step

                                                Got rid of my baby teeth

                                                   Got taller, got older

                                 Went off to school, elementary, highschool, now college..

                                        Some many times I wish I were still small,

                                     So that you could still be proud of the things I did

                                  So many times I just wanted to make you happy again, 

                                   The long face doesn't suit you, the tears shouldn't fall

                                      But I can't make you happy, because I am me

                                           I don't wish you pain, or heartache

                                       I wish you happiness and love, but I am me

                                          We have seen that time and time again

                                     I love you just the same, always have always will

                                Your blood runs through my veins, you are always near me

                                       But you are so far away most times, its scary

                             I may not tell you everything, I may not come to your for advice,

                              For all I want most times from you, is just your motherly love..

                             I want you to be my friend, not my jailer, my Mom, not my enemy

                                     Do you understand me? I know you never have..

                             Maybe you never will, just remember I am your flesh, your blood

                                   Your daughter who loves you more than her own life

                                           These words are true, not fantasy...

                              I care so much that sometimes I hurt you without thinking first

                                I am sorry for the pain, the tears, the sorrow, the fighting..

                                             I love you...can you love ME?

Reason for writing:

    I wrote it because this shows the relationship of me and my mother, how i yearn to just be loved for me.
