Why did I go?
I was too young to know better.
Why did I leave you?
You needed stability and love.
Why didn’t I stay with him?
I didn’t want to hurt us both anymore.
Why didn’t I say “I love you”?
I did, but you wouldn’t listen.
Why didn’t I push harder?
I did, but they would not let me.
Why, why, why?
I don’t’ know all the answers,
I will be honest when you ask,
Why didn’t I stand up to them?
I was not strong enough.
Why did I let them lie about me?
I didn’t want to fight in front of you.
Why am I here now?
I still love and miss you.
Do I still feel like your mother?
I am your mother.
I will always want to be here.
Why am I here now?
Because I am stronger and ready for you.
Please tell me what you think

This makes so much sense now that I know a bit of the background - all those whys? So much stronger now, sometimes the teens need to be more mature as well to understand and accept what happened back then. Give them time - as you have had. One day you will be able to speak about it adult to adult anad be on even ground. Wish you luck. Sentiments well expressed in these lines - flows well and heartfelt.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my poems. Most of my poems are related to the same theme. My children, my ex life and my new husband. Again, thank you for your loving and caring words of wisdom. sometimes I need to wake up and realize there is more to my life than just my side. Tina
