to mother :
you have gone through
so much .
where could i even begin ?
you deal with this shit with your head high ;
grandma ; her binges and hospital
episodes
she's your mom ,
you try your best
to keep her from falling
when she can't take care of herself .
my brother ; his little boy antics
i can't begin to imagine
what you've gone through
i know that i'll never be
like you
and have such patience with him .
dad ;
i can barely hold down a relationship
and yet , you seem to keep it
all together , you and dad
stay together , you rock .
and finally ; me .
i don't know how you could ever handle me .
i'll admit that i'm probably
the worst daughter ever ;
i'm doing things behind your back
i yell , i scream ,
i throw things when i'm angry
which happens often ,
i'm a spoiled rotten BRAT .
yet , you keep your chin up ,
and deal with me
when nobody else can
so for that ,
i thank you , i love you .
