Letter Pt 1 Poem by Kelsey Bachmeier

mom,
just know i always loved you
but this bottle of pills is unopened and new
i'm sorry i'm not taking one life, but two
my life here was short and bitter
and as we all know father was a hitter
you were always there for me
but my life was not to be
i feel unwanted and a burden
and this baby feels it too
mother don't deny that it's not true
you always told me be the best i can
i don't want my best relying on
money from another man
tell dad that i forgive him
for all the bruises, that shaped my trim
mention to my baby sister
all the times, she made me kiss her
the one i thought i loved
me and our baby, we'll see you from above
and to you my mother, best
please do visit me at my rest
also hang this letter on your wall
my accomplishments would be pleased
because i plan to follow through
