Thanks Mom

by Angel - Taurus

Mom I just want to say thank you
For all the awful things that you do
You have taught me 
Exactly what I should not be
Thank you Mom for taking time today
To listen to me tell you all the things I have to say
You can't even take the time
To talk on Mother's Day
Yeh, Thanks Mom for the tears I cry today
You do not love me 
It is easy to see
I am just a toy to you
Play with me and put me on the shelf when you are through
You say that I do not try
To be a part of your life
But it is because of you that each night I cry
You say that you love me
But that just cannot be
You have more important things to do
If only you knew
How I've always wanted a Mother
Just like all the others
Someone to hold me when I cry
And pick me up to help me try
But instead I got you
You're never happy no matter how good I do
I have finally had enough
I am saying goodbye today
Even if it is Mother's Day
When you decide to give up the drink
And finally you are able to think
Give me a call
And please do remember, I still love you Mom.
I just hate the things you do.

Reason for writing:

    My Mother is a severe alcholic who cannot see her problem.
