Mommy?

June 9, 2013
By Anonymous

Where are you, Mommy?
You're supposed to protect me
This isn't you
I know that's true
She's taking me away
From a beautiful day
And everything keeping me alive
I can't do this, I want to die
I won't be taken by this ghost
That swears that he loves me most
You raised me to be strong
But now everything's wrong
She wears a beautiful disguise
That I'm starting to despise
The worst part is that she looks like you
But there is no way that can be true
I know you, Mommy
You're so kind and sweet
This girl is dragging me to Hell
And she's doing it very well
I'm clawing my way back to my home
I just can't do it all alone
The weight I'm carrying is too much
It's starting to add on so many more cuts
I just really need my mommy
To come here and save me.

My mom was going to move up to Ohio with me and I really didn't want to go because everything I know is down here in Florida so, I wrote this hoping to convince her to let us stay. It worked.
