Mother, he's tried to make you proud mother, he's tried to stand tall but mother, he's lost himself he doesn't know who you are. He hopes he didn't make you cry but he feels he's let you down mother would you still love him after all he's done? Mother, he loves you but can you recall your son is not that same as he used to be he's trying to find himself he just wants you to be proud. When you look at him to you see things that make you stand tall because he hates his life and what he's done to it he walks around feeling so small. He can't smile because he's not that strong he feels the strain creep in he's alone again with no one to call. His first step was so big and you helped him along but you finally let him go you knew he'd make it on his own. Now he's grown old you've lost your hold doing things on his own he's fucked up more than once a thousand times it seems it seems the devil's crept in he's turning in to someone he thought would be free from so many sins. Mother, he feels like a child again lost and all alone can't find that direction he doesn't no which way to go. Every story that he tells makes her think she must not of loved him enough and that's why he feels he's headed straight to hell. But one day he'll make you proud and one day his mother will cry cause her son is finally happy and she can look at him and see she did raise him well he justed needed time to grow and learn but in the end she knew he'd make her proud.
Reason for writing:
Its about how I've done a lot of stupid things recently, and pushed important people in my life away. Things that I thought as a person, I'd never do. And this poem is just my way of telling my mom, even though she loves me more than anything in this world, that she didnt raise me wrong, because Im the one who screwed up... and I hope one day I can really make her proud.
