To my mother <br /> <br />When I was a girl you kicked me in the mouth in a mean spirited way then would say. I am sorry. You think I was a possession to be had. Smacking me in the ear just a few days after ear surgery because I wasn't cleaning fast enough. You told me I was a mental Patient. I should have been left at the hospital. <br /> <br />Go bite the big one.<br /><br />Kimberly (Strothman) Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-eulogy-i-didn-t-have-the-guts-to-write/
