My Secret Addiction

Waking up in the middle of the night,

My addiction is craving attention,

Lingering for what it pleases,

But I can not satisfy it.

 

It will not let me rest,

Demanding my thoughts,

Tricking my mind,

Making me feel so miserable.

 

For years this demon has roamed,

I was only eight years old,

When I discovered what my addict was,

To receive a mothers love.

 

Moving from person to person,

Trying to find the satisfaction,

To relieve my inner demons roar,

But no one could compare.

 

A mothers love is what I crave,

But never did I receive,

And never will I deserve,

Hunting my dreams.

 

Will I ever manage,

To face my addictions demon,

To become a mother,

And give them the love I crave?

 

The softness within that care,

That I never deserved,

Will I learn to pass it on,

Or will I carry on the pain?

    No that is not an addiction. it is a loss... And it is very good that you understand as much as you do. I don't know the circumstances that took your mother away, but deep inside you it will feel like a rejection and you will try to 'deserve' love if you don't come to an understanding. When you are very young it is hard to come to healthy conclusions about trauma.

      I do look at it as an addiction, and my mother is still alive, wopedo. She just rejects me as her child. We 3 sisters where only an atempt to create a boy, when she got her boy 20 years after the first girl she abandoned us. Unluckely I was still young then, my other sisters just broke loose from the nest and started they're own lifes.

      thank you for your comment and care

    Morezo, this is wonderful... I have faith in you. I know just from reading this poem that you care about others and this one trait by itself is what will make you a good mother. You are better than the anger you feel; as I was better than the anger I had felt towards my father. You become your own person, strong, independent and stive for what you really want and hold dear. Everything is what "You" make it.
    All my best, KPS
