Mother Daughter Poem

To this day I still don't understand why mother's choose a man over their own flesh and blood...

Do You Have An Answer?

© Angie Flores
Why did you do the things you did?
Why did you say the things you said?
Why did you change who you are?
Why did you chose a man over your own daughter?
Why did you hurt me?
Why did you break my heart?
Why did you betray me?
Why did you break your promises?
Why did you have to break up our once "Happy Family" apart?
Why are you so evil?
Why weren't you there for me?
Why!?

Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I was sick?
Where were you when I cried?
Where were you when I was sad?
Where were you when I needed help?
Where were you when I was scared?
Where were you when I was troubled?
Where were you when I had no one?
Where were you when I needed a mother?
Where were you!

What happened to my mother?
What is wrong with you?
What do you think of?
What are you doing?
What is more important than me?

When are you going to go back to being the mother I once had?
When will you realize what you've done?
When will you take off that blindfold you have?
When will you care?
When!?

Who was there for me when I needed someone...not you!
Who did I go to when I needed help...not you!
Who always encouraged me to do better...not you!
Who was there to wipe my tears away...not you!
Who taught me right from wrong...not you!
Who helped me overcome my fears...not you!
Who showed me the love I needed...not you!

Because of you It's hard for me to love another person.
Because of you It's hard for me to have faith in people.
Because of you It's hard for me trust a soul.
Because of you I must remain a motherless daughter.
Because of you It's hard for me to open my heart to others.
Because of you It's hard for me to believe someone when they say "I love you".
All because of you!

See what you've done to me!

  • I was always my mother's little girl. Sure she liked to party and sleep around but she was still my mother. Then she married a guy she had only known for a few months. I did not like the guy because of how he treated her. Then on my tenth birthday she gave me to my aunt and uncle, because I had told her of my feelings. I haven't seen her in over two years, but what I hear is that he still beats her. I just don't understand why someone could live this way.

  • this is sad but its so true, my mum did that to me when I was 15, replaced by a new partner and that was the end of me and my mum, as much as I cried and screamed out to her she just turned the other way, till the point I turned all my hurt and pain into hate and rage and she wonders why. I've been battling her for nearly 15 years and she simply doesn't care, why have kids I ask myself each and every day

  • Wow! I ask myself the same questions all the time. I look at my own daughters and vow to never let our relationship turn out the way me and my mom's did. The worst part is that she won't even admit to any wrongdoing. Drives me nuts. I completely cut her out of my life. My kids don't know her and they never will. I love my kids too much to expose them to her. Thanks for the poem, nice to know there are others out there experiencing the same things. No one should be mother-less...

  • This poem echoes my thoughts. My Mom's partner sexually abused me for 2 yrs from age 11. At age 18, I finally told her. She didn't believe me--until we trapped him into admitting it. She later married him, so I felt like she chose him over me, and I think she blames me. He was an alcoholic and womanizer. I recently left a 19-yr marriage because of abuse, and guess whose side Mom took? Not mine. Her heart of compassion is for strangers--not family.
