What Would You Do If You Were In My Shoes.... Poem by stephanie buchanan

what would you do in my shoes
she just got out of prison

now the time has come i am let with a choice
do i let her hurt me again or just let everyone think that i dont care

they didnt go through what i did they dont know how i feel
or that i am scared to sleep at night for the fear of it really coming out.

if they only knew that i was thinking about it all the time
that i feel guilty and that i dont know why

yes she is my mom and she was never there and she just got out of prison
she thinks that it should all be ok and that she has to make up time

i am 22 and i dont need her anymore
i have the best parents that anyone could ask for

so i left with a choice
what would you do if you where in my shoes.
