Dear Mom
When your near me
I feel a thousand miles away
When I look at you
I feel blind and I lose my way
There's no use trying to be
Anymore closer to me
I'm an island that you can't reach
Don't cling to me like a leech
I was meant to be alone
Isolation the only thing I know
If you understood
You would leave me, and you should
But I fear its too late
Your the only one I need
But your gone.
Aut I don't wish you back.
I don't want anything,
not from you.
My tears are falling
I wish my soul to reap
I'm exhausted
yet I can't sleep
My mind is clear
Yet my eyes still swell
Because deep down
I know what i'm crying about
Now your calling
You wants me to speak
I heard what she said
But it's a secret i'd rather keep
It's my worst fear
You says if I tell
It'll lift me a pound
But they'll just start to shout
Since then nothings been the same
I've been distant and deranged
My tears, still falling
Pray my soul to keep

I'm sorry things aren't well between you and your mom.
It's good you can express your emotions in your writing the way you do. Of course I've told you that over and over again but it's the truth. Self expression through writing is a healthy way of getting the truth out and being able to make amends. As far as issues with your mom go perhaps that's a ways off but still; keep on expressing yourself through your poems.
You do a fine job. Know you have friends who care and your inner self which is priceless. Take care and God bless.
