You little brat <br />How I hate you <br />How I wish to never again see you <br />This is your fault <br />Cost me everything <br />My youth, my one true love, my everything <br />If only you had been born the son he wanted <br />If only you were't so darn emotional all the time <br />Maybe he would't take all his rage and anger out on me <br />Maybe he would still be the man I first fell in love with <br /> <br />Before you came along <br />We were as close to perfection as can be <br />God how I wish now that we're used birth control that night <br />I did't even want a kid <br />I was and still am way too young <br />Did't get a choice about rather or not I could abort you <br />Your father and grandmother would't hear of it <br />Now here the three of us are trapped together for the next 18 years <br />Unless I get lucky and someone answers my most forbidden prayer <br />Unless I get lucky and some wacko makes off with you never to be seen again <br /> <br />No, I ain't suffering from no post partum depression crap <br />No, I don't consider myself a bad mother <br />In fact, I think I'm a pretty darn good one <br />At least I'm being honest with my kid about how I feel <br />No pretending going on here <br />I hate 'em and I'm gonna let 'em know it <br />Every chance that I get <br />And if any of you got a problem with that then I dare you to tell me <br />In public, right to my face <br />I'll have no problems debating this very issue with you <br /> <br />My kid, my marriage, my beeswax <br />I don't and I won't ever hit her <br />But I sure ain't gonna lie to her <br />Tell my daughter I love her when I don't and never will <br />Her betrayal has just cut too deep <br />Taken too much <br />She'll come to understand when she's older, I'm sure <br />Just why every night for a lullaby <br />Her mama sings to her this song of vile and hurt <br />Aptly entitled..... <br /> <br />Daddy drinks because you cry <br /> <br />2009 Ramona Thompson<br /><br />Ramona Thompson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daddy-drinks-because-you-cry/
