mommy's little trooper
the one that never lets her down
depression's mark
insanity's claim
a mother's toy
a daughter's way
a contestant in the game
the hunter and the prey
the lion to the lamb and
the moth now to the flame
reunions that we get and
memories meant to fade
mommy's little secret
with mommy from the past
a burden that I share
and roses that now wither
mommy's show of heart
and mommy's piece of hell
mommy's little fighter
the daughter she once raised
mommy's show of knowledge
and mommy's little trophy
mommy's show of morals
and mommy's show of value
mommy's new perfection
the child she won't know
mommy's little mirror
the reflection she can't choose
Author notes
She's my mom...I need my mom...but she's not ready to be there, what am I supposed to do with that? What do you do when you're the parent and never the kid? What do you do when your mother walks away from you and simply doesn't want to be a parent anymore emotionally but when it suits her a check will get sent through the mail?
