I'm Going To Forget... Poem by Anna Atchison

I seek for attention that I didn't get from you,
Attention that actually made a positive difference.
Abused and hurt is all I ever felt.
You bruised me and broke me,
When all I wanted was to get back on my feet.
I'm living alone in a world of hurt now.
Sad and abandoned,
I sit here.
So much on my mind I can't even figure it out myself.
Tears falling, head spinning.
Why did you do this to me?
Did I really deserve it…
I thought mothers were supposed to be there,
You never were when it mattered most.
You're a liar.
You're a selfish person.
I don't need you.
I'm going to forget you.
