My mom she doesn't understand
She thinks my life is so simple
A game
Like I have everything I could ever want
She yelled at me today
Because she thinks her life is so bad!
Well she should try being me!
"She doesn't know what it's like to cut open your skin
and watch the blood come out.
She doesn't know what it's like to take
pill after pill and hope your heart stops.
She doesn't know what it's like
to shove your finger down your throat to throw-up
because you think you're not ~perfect~."
She doesn't know what it's like to go through everyday
missing someone so much it hurts inside.
She doesn't know how hard it is to stay stong."
I get yelled at for crying
I get yelled at for being sad
When really they do nothing to help
"One day I fear I'll get pushed too far."
It seems like no one understands me anymore
Maybe no one cares enought to try
"My mom made it come back."
She made this sadness bubble up
She has no idea how she affects my life
Making me sad
But she doesn't care enough
To know
What she does to me,
How she ruins me

This is a great poem. Very personal. I know how you feel in ways. I know what it is like to be always sad and to cut yourself and miss someone a whole lot. I can relate to you. I have depression and it sucks. Each day is so hard to get through. I have no motivation or concentration. Keep up the great writing. Take care.

Wow...extremely personal- I admire you for writing this down and entering my contest. I can relate to this as well, I often wrote journal entries like this addressing my mother. I hope that you can someday heal from these struggles, but utnil then- keep up the good poetry.
