This ongoing despondency
Has left me oppressed and exhausted
I no longer know that feeling
When one loves another
Like I assumed you did me.
The distance between our hearts
Has deeply greatened with every blow
To my self-esteem and my soul.
We are but pawns in this horrific
Chess tournament of the psyche.
But though our distance is growing
It is showing how dependent I truly was
How I longed to please you
To forget about the outside world
Though this darkened gap is surrounding us
A light shall be found near you and me
Yes these times are highly complex
And our patience is thinning
But we cannot let hardships get in the way
Of our sacred bond
Or our family ties,
As a mother and a daughter!
Forever you shall have my heart
No matter the troubles we face
We’ll pull through them
As we always have,
Together!
Author notes
This poem was written after My mother and I had a huge fight over something that I thought she would kill me for. You see, I had lost my great-grandmother's rings and my mother fliped out.I know that I shouldn't have lost them in the first place but it wasn't my fault but she kept saying things like "yu didn't even care about your memaw" and things of that nature. It really hurt my feelings. but later she came to me and appologized and I realized that even though we may have our words that we are still family and that we are always going to be.
