Left alone to pick up
The shards that remain
Of what was once my hopes.
You were supposed
To love me unconditionally-
At least that's what I thouht
Mothers did by nature.
Instead of listening
You walked away
As I knew deep down you would
And now you're ignoring me.
I'm calling out to you
Crying tears of blood
My heart is bleeding
And I am empty.
I've fallen in Love
And found The One
But you've thrown me away
And you can't even hear me.
With every step you take
I cry another bloody tear
That has spilled from my eyes
And poured from my shattered soul.
So go ahead-
Keep walking away
Keep ignoring the truth-
Cause I've got all the Love I need...
I've got Her.

Well thank you. lol I appreciate the praise

Parental acceptance is tough to deal with, especially if your an LGBT person. I'll be honest, it's not amazing, but it is good. Thank you for entering.

-
this was poem was alright, i liked the feeling in it but it didnt impress me, thank you for entering and good luck
-
this is sooo sweet. No way are you alone.. you should never ever feel alone... be strong.. people just need to accept the reality that we call life! there is nothing wrong with being a lesbian or bi-sexual! LOVE is LOVE no matter what!
-
No, you are not alone!
the things that we learn in first accepting ourselves is that we can't rely on other for that self acceptance. Self acceptance from others can not be forced or demanded. You can ask for it with the degree of honesty that you expect in return. I hope that in finding love that you find the essence of yourself.

That is one of the sweetest and most honest things anyone has ever told me. Thank you.

this was truly moving it had a lot of raw emotion and meaning... for a lot of us...


-

Thank you. I wrote it on a day my mom and I were fighting and this poem allowed me to scratch the surface of how hard it is to go through all of this.

i feel for you, i dont have many words but i hope they mean what they should wheni say you arent alone...itll take time, and if it doesnt get better how mutch worse can it get? you just felt one of the strongest pains out there rejection from a parent ,keep trudging along... you'll make it...

My mom hates me, but my dad is so much more understanding. So at least I can look on the bright side!
-
-
wow
I love your poem
and i'm so sorry your mother would ever do that to you it's wrong -
-
It is wrong, but I can't change her. It is she who is missing out on my life and her future grandkids. It's her loss, not mine.
-
-
I like this a lot..its sad that your mother can't accept you for who you are..that is one thing that i am very grateful for is a family that not only accepts me but supports me...and i have realized it is very rare to have a family that supports their gay/bi sexual daughter/son..but i hope things work out with ur mom..and she realizes that you or her have no power over who you love..great write..

My dad and his mom support me and so does my aunt. But my mom is bipolar, and she is VERY religious. I go to a Polish Catholic Church and my pastor has no problem with me.

This is absolute amazing piece of writing my friend, I feel this way towards my father, so each word you wrote really meant something to me. Parents are very odd it is like they chose to be parents we never chose to be a daughter or a son. Anyways awesome write my friend


-
-
I totally agree with you. Sometimes I wonder... If I chose my parents, who would I have chosen? But then when I think about it, I love my parents a lot.. so I guess we're stuck with em.
-
-
this is a great write. I'm bisexual. My dad doesn't know just yet because I never told him. this was great because though your mother doesn't agree with it you still stand by your girlfriend.
-
Despite a minor misspelling I think it's a provocative piece. It's how you thought you found the one true love but the other one doesn't care,doesn't love you back, doesn't make you an option,doesn't even make you a sandwich but yet you stand by her.
-Okay I kinda messed up in the meaning But it's better to be abandoned for who you are than to be loved for who you are not. A mother should love her child unconditionally but sometimes it is not the case like yours. Good job.
-
Man i love it. its gerat how you only need her to survive everything. good job.
-
Very descriptive, and sooo true.
I love it.
Nicely done, and thanks ever so much for entering!!!!!

Whhoooooaaaa that was great
Being abandoned for coming out is one of the greatest fears all queers have. I love the ending and the subtle ways you sugest the idea's behind the poem. It's logical and precise in the meaning it gives. But has a gentle seductive way of telling the story.

-
Oh my this was so sad, it is such a shame when our parents let us down, after all, it's not that hard to stand by those we love is it? You are not alone, I am glad you have found love, but sorry you lost out as a result(?) Families can suck at times, but please know that love doesn't dissapear-hopefully you and your mother can mend your relationship in the future. All the best, E
