Cry

Tears are filling up my eyes.
I'm trying so hard not to let them fall.
I've been so strong for the past 14 years.
I can't break now.
I see them all looking at me with their pity.
They don't know.
I miss her more than anything.
She was the most important thing in my life.
The only person who brought a true smile to my face.
The one who truly loved me.
I can still see her smile when I close my eyes.
She was so beautiful.
I know she's watching me,
So I try to stay strong.
I don't want her to see me crying.
I want her to see me happy.
I know that's what she would want for me.
To be happy.
So I pretend.
I hope she can hear my unspoken words.
I love you mom.
I miss you.
Happy Birthday!

    pretty cool, but have you considered a different background for this unless i understood it wrong it needs a lighter background...but your poetryis really great i love the way that you write in so much color and exspression....it really shows the emotins of how you feel about your mom and your life of what you have went through.....that all i haave to say i guess because i cant even decribe how that touched my life.

    Bless your heart! I'm so sorry for your loss. What a heartfelt tribute to your mom; she'd be proud that you are so talented and expressive of your feelings. I'm sure you're right, that she'd want you to be happy, but pretending isn't the same thing. I don't think it's going to fool her. It's okay to grieve. In fact it's a necessary part of finding happiness again. I lost my mom, too. You will always miss her and you won't forget how much she means to you, but you will smile a genuine smile again, Sweetie. Hang in there. Thanks for sharing something so personal.
