Mommy Poem by Destiny Vancil

Mom i'm writing this not to hurt you but to make
you realize what you have done to your little
girls..so listen very carefully...The drinking
was horrible...I hated waiting for you every
night waiting for you to come home with a bowl
and water with me and sometimes you did'nt come
home and i knew what you were doing...The men
were nasty and did'nt know how to keep there hands
to them selves...The pills...topped it all off
The Worst Mom of the year award...Thats what i
thought every night in my head...I wished every night
i wish my mommy would be my mommy like old
times...chey thought it to she never said it
but i think thats what we all thought..you
continued even when you knew we had no dad couldn't
you tell we were in enough pain? so im saying
thank you...thank you for the pain and hurt..
the tears and the late nights...
thank you for waisting my time..thank you for not loving me
and thank you for teaching me not to love...
thank you for letting me be the tough little one
thank you for teaching me how to not cry...but i want you to know
there is one good thing out of this poem i know
now that no one can hurt me becuz i dont let them in thank you
for teaching me that i can be more than you...
