My mother is ashamed of how I turned out and I am not the only one who knows it
She looks at me with the sad eyes I have desperately stared into for the past six years
please I am so sorry I broke you
please find a way to forgive me
please I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry
Six years I have watched her cry for me
to be better
Six years she has told me enough was enough
I’m done
please i am begging you
please be good to yourself this time
please I am so sick of finding you in hospital beds
I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry
