Acceptance

I've been
waiting so long
For that moment
in my life
Everyone says
Why do I insist
on having hope?
When I know for myself
that there is none
but every night
with tearful eyes
I pray that someday
she'll hear my cry
that she'll feel my pain
and run to my side
cradling me in her arms
shattering these walls

I've built so high
as she gives

acceptance;

reassurance

that I wasn't

a mistake

Very Intimate
The way you expressed your feelings made me feel every word you penned to the page. My heart was with you and I loved the way you were able to express these very deep emotions . I too hope you find the answer and she hears your cries because you are a godsend and could never ever have been a mistake....

This is a poem straight from your heart. It is not
your failing but hers but it makes you feel the
failure. You may never get the result you want from
the person you require the acceptance of so let
it go and hope she one day realizes what she did or
didn`t do.

None of us is perfect, and sometimes we don`t see
what is under our noses.

My mother was kind and looked after her family well,
but couldn`t show love she didn`t know how. Sad
for both of us.

Poetry is a great way of speaking from your heart.

such a good write, i can really relate to this, especially to the following lines.
I pray that someday
she'll hear my cry
that she'll feel my pain
and run to my side
cradling me in her arms
shattering these walls

I've built so high
