Mom, <br />You cry and say that you don't know me, <br />but the 'real me' you choose not to see. <br />all you see is what you want me to be, but again, all you see is what you wanna belive. <br />You know I love you with all of my heart, <br />but it's your denial thats ripping us apart. <br />Mom, <br />I know the truth is what you fear, <br />but you want me to tell you what you want to hear. <br />you say you are sick of all these lies, <br />and mom, Im tired of making you cry. <br />I want so badly to show you the 'real me' <br />but I know that if I do I will have to leave. <br />Mom, <br />How can I open up to you? <br />especially after all that we have been through... <br />I dont know how to tell yo uor what to do, <br />but I know that deep down you know its true. <br />I know all you want is happiness for me.......................... <br />So please, just let me live my life the way I know it's suppost to be. <br />Mom, <br />You say that all you want is for me to be closer to you. <br />I know you don't belive it, but I want that too- <br />Maby one day you'll accept 'me' for 'me', <br />and when, or if you ever do, you'll see how close we can finally be.<br /><br />Autumn Keele<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mom-45/
