She Is Still My Mother

I don't care
that she abused me..
Abandoned me..
Broke my heart.. split my soul..
I remember all to well
every cruel thing
that was done and said..
My heart is speckled with tiny scars
for every single time
she wished me dead
But ..
She is still my mother..
I could never be near her..
or trust her like a daughter again..
But if she ever needs me..
I will go to her
as I would any friend
Because
She is still my Mother..
I know you think me crazy..
that I would pick up and go..
But remember
she gave me life..
She helped form this soul..
I know the evil within her
is all that you see..
But remember
without this evil woman
I would not be..
I still have many scars.
from the beatings that she gave..
But I cannot let myself..
take that hatred to the grave..
So she may not be perfect..
she is often very cruel.
but she was the one
that brought me
into this world.
And there is still
a little part of me
who wishes I could be
her loved little girl..
A little part that
will forever love her..
Because after all..
She is still my Mother.

Excellent, Powerful write!
I am sorry you suffered abuse...

it.

Erica this saddens me so to think of anyones mother causing them such pain, and when I see and hear of things such as those you have written it makes me wish I could adopt all the children of the world! Beautiful and so heartfelt! :O)

This is wonderful. It's very sweet. A sweetness not often brought about. One suggestion: "I know you think me [I'm] crazy". It seems it would flow better, but if it suits you, that's totally fine ;)

I really loved this one Erica. It showed your best side. It showed what a beautiful and colourful person you are and will be. Something, I am sure, most every family has experienced in some way or form, the abuse of another, whether it be them or a fellow member, we can all sympathise, but this is just beautiful.

Warm Love and Happy New Year,
*- Brittany -*

(((HUGS))) and may this new year bring reconciliation...love, karla. :)
