Hurt Poem by Randi Nicole Dement

Tears flow from my eyes,
By now, I should be used to all the cries.
I scream for help, but no-one hears,
Living my life is so hard to bare.

My family tries to be there when they can
but love for me, it seems their not a fan.
When your down at the bottom, they shouldn't give up,
But they sit and watch me cry like a sad little pup.

I'll show them what I can be,
I'll open their eyes wide, so they can see.
I'm a strong woman, with love to give.
And I don't really care, if they like how I live.

My girls DO and ALWAYS come first,
they fill me up, and quench my life's thirst.
Dakota, my oldest, so sweet, and willing to try,
Always making mommy feel better, when I start to cry.

Kelcee so pretty, and so very shy,
To see you, and hug you again, everyday I do try.
Abby, Mommy loves you more than the moon, more than the stars,
Yes, my Dear, I even Love you more than candy Bars!

I do not regret all that I've done,
You live and you learn, and now, I move on.
I'll someday crawl out from under this this rock,
And laugh at you all, with a smirk as I mock.

I'll fight, and fight, I'll kick and scream
As my babies and I, work as a team.
We will be ok, my babies, this I swear.
So try to be patient, together, lets fix this tear.

My heart feels so empty, with no-one inside,
Would you all feel better, if I was to die?
You'll want back in my messed up life, sooner or later,
But just so you know, to you, I will no longer cater!

So leave me alone, and let me be free,
I grew up, so why won't you let me be me?
I'm gonna mess up, cause that's what people do,
I just don't need you in the shadow's to boo.

I'll love you forever, and always, I will.
will forever you love me, tell me, while here I standstill
Just please be patient and try to look past my mistakes,
I'm trying my hardest, to give what I take.
