A woman that took me into her home and showed me love that I
wish my mother had.
The feeling that I
feel inside is so overwhelming that I wished I could just blink and the
thoughts would end.
I feel as if my body
is changing and my mind is becoming hardened.
My feelings only
usually last for a minute but these feelings feel more permanent.
Taking care of her
parents makes me think of how my family should have been.
A house filled with
love, care, and concern but for me this is nonexistent.
Strangers took me in because my family says that I have hurt
them.
Never once did I get
an apology for all the pain they caused me but instead I am apologetic.
It’s always my words
that seem to be pleading but only to fall on deaf ears.
Yet a stranger can
see my sincerity and take me in and advise me to let the past go so that I am
able to win.
A stranger decides
that she wants to help me because she sees herself within me.
She saw me and the
way I am running.
She saw me and
embraced me
She saw me and
instantly knew!
How come you can’t, I
grew up with you?
A stranger looked at
me and felt my pain; she heard me got in her truck and came right away.
You are my mother and
I call you and you lie straight to my face.
I hear your voice and
feel the lies.
A stranger comes
along and helps me in more ways than one but instead of her I wished you were
the one.
“Come home, baby” is what I needed and wanted to hear but
your response was nowhere near.
A stranger came along
and taught me more in one day than you did in a lifetime.
“Mother vs. Stranger” and the Stranger is the winner!
