My heart it just feels broken and I’m not sure how to heal
My mind it just feels cluttered I don’t know what to feel
The pain of being broken has seemed to just take hold
All I feel now is empty my heart has just grown cold
Two of my children love me and yet one I can not reach
I long for him to feel for me but this I can not teach
I can see the hate he holds for me in every little glance
One day I hope he’ll open up and just give me a chance
I know I am not perfect, maybe to him I’m just not worthy
Can I ever be good enough for my son to love me?
He seems to hold a hate for me I can’t explain
All I’ve tried to do for him is shelter him from pain
Will I ever be good enough for my middle son to love me?
Or will I live my life broken hearted just wishing he could see?
Just how special he is to me and how I long for his love
For now I will pray for this to my savior up above.
My heart it remains broken and my mind is still all cluttered
For I have yet to hear one word of love from my son muttered
Broken is a feeling that I feel every moment of every day
I know that life will end for me still feeling just this way.

Thank you for the comment and taking time to read it as well. I wrote this piece crying at the time over my son so I really didn't pay much attention to the flow I spologize for that.

I like this piece and it has alot of passion, but it could use a bit more attention to flow, other than that excellent job and good luck in the contest!
