She Who Is My Mother Poem by Veronica T. C.

She didn't teach me the values of life
My friends did
She wasn't there for me in my time of need
However, my friends were
She didn't protect me
But instead blames & grounds me,
Kept me locked up out of sight out of mind
For everything that happened to me
The opportunities that I had in life
She stopped me from
She never really cared
The love doesn't show
She stopped me from living life
Prevented me from seeing my friends
Another relationship down the drain
However, this one is with my mother.
