Better than you could have imagined

by ChrisTie - Aries

my how you've grown
it's been so long
ah, look at that face
the face of an angel
with your mother's eyes
you turned out okay
despite all the things
you went through
I'm actually suprised
you didn't end up like me
bad character flaws run in the genes
it's truly a miracle
you didn't end up in this place
behind bars like me
I did the best I could
made sacrafices
hoping some day you be able to understand
what I did was for you
it wasn't for greed
it wasn't for what they said
they never walked a day in my life
faced the inner torture and grief
that haunted me with every morning sunlight
they never have
they never will
such a sweet girl with a pretty smile
you make me so pround
your going to be someone special
someone important
it will be success
that blesses you
not the false promises of the drugs
I'm so use to

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this about my mother, my Aunt (her sister) is always putting her down..my mom and I aren't that close but we are trying to mend things..
I just hate it when other people compare you to a relative..I don't know it just bothers me
