Why Mum
18 April, 2003
Author: Keila
Shes looking in the mirror
numb with disbelief
"how could mummy do this?
Just to get relief?"
the bruises and the scars
the secrets left untold
caused by one mums pain
starting to unfold
when she wakes up in the morning
she dreads the day ahead
"what will she do this time?
will i end up dead?"
"I walked into a door" she said
when she was questioned why
the teacher knows whats going on
she knows its all a lie
what can she do
when faced with life this way?
should she suffer through it
or end it all today?

I got out. But se still bugs the hell outa me. But, in a way, I still hate her but kinda miss her. My stepmom says she shouldn't even know what grades I am getting. But I mean, she's still my mother. Anyways, I wish you all the best. ---Brittany |

It seems all of these are two months old? They're well written and your style could generate a following. Hope everything goes well for you. |
