You'Re Nothing But A Coward Poem by Emily Randleman

You'Re Nothing But A Coward

Rating: 5.0


You became nothing but a coward
When you walked out that door
Never looking back at me
You left a family
The one you helped grow
And said you loved deeply
At so young When you left
I was ashamed
So ashamed to call you my mom
Even with every tear I cried
And call I made
You never looked back
I use to ask myself daily
Were you really my mother?
Or nothing but a coward?
There is no fine line between mother and Coward
Mothers loves and cares
And cowards leaves with no goodbyes
Nearly two year later
I have come to realize
Mom you are nothing but a coward.
And I will not become what you have.

I agree with John. This is such a powerful, heart wrenching piece. Can feel all the hurt, sadness, anger and yet the still wanting to be the chosen. So sorry you and your sister had to go through this horrible ordeal. No mother should ever choose a man over their children. Not ever!
