Mother
Like the sea and the sky,
We reflect each other, you and I.
Past the moon and the stars,
There is nothing more painful than fighting between family members. Whether between parents who are married or divorced, or between siblings, there is nothing more bitter than watching people who once loved each other say painful things to one another. Family member know each other better than anyone. They know each other's vulnerabilities and can hurt each other in the most private and intimate places. So before you say something to a family member, no matter how much you think that they deserve it, remember, the pain of the memory of this encounter will last much longer than the satisfaction of a good one liner.
Like the sea and the sky,
We reflect each other, you and I.
Past the moon and the stars,
I was also abused and neglected by my mother. I don't live with her anymore.

Dear Mom,
Thanks for the years
the years of my tears
you treat me bad ...
Standing in self-hatred,
drowning in my tears.
Looking back on my life,
what I've been through the past 18 years....
This poem deeply touched me, because I can completely relate to it. I have always lived in my brother's shadow, and most times, I wonder if my mom ever even cares or listens to me. This poem,...

I gave you a chance, let you in and tried to be your friend,
I should have known, you wouldn't be there in the end.
I wanted you to love me, I waited for so very long,...
I wished so much
for my biological dad,
but now that I've got him,
I'm feeling very sad.
I know how you feel. My father left, and before that, he did a lot of horrible things to me, my brother and my mother. Finally, we moved away and many years have passed, but all of a sudden,...
I'm sorry you missed out when I went to school for the first time,
And you didn't have me tell you that you were all mine.
I'm sorry you weren't there to take me to the mall,
And you weren't there to tell me I have to stand tall.
I am so deeply sorry. I, too, fantasized about a wonderful future with my dad in the picture. He made lots of promises to me when I was younger and I believed in him. But now I know that it...

Thanks for believing in me.
Thanks for showing me you care.
Thanks for holding my hand.
Thanks for being there.
I can relate. My dad used to be physically there, but not "there." He would just sit there and ignore what I would say. He would give me his credit card just to get rid of me. The only time...
Looking in your eyes
Tells me something's wrong.
Never began to realize
You've neglected for so long.
I can feel this poem. My father died early. I live with my 2 siblings and mother. My grandparents pay for everything for us. My mother is a good person only towards my siblings. She takes me...
Where were you when the tears fell?
When the blood began to flow?
Where were you when I was scared?
When all my skies were gray
Tell me how to love someone
who doesn't love me back.
Tell me how to respect someone ...
Dad, you were never home and I rarely ever saw you. When you were, you would only come to pass through. Your stench of alcohol was so strong. When you'd drink, we'd never get along. In your...
