Mommy, Mommy
You lie all the time
Even when I was only 5

I loved you so, because you gave birth to me
But you're a bad example, can't you see?

You break promises, you;re never here
But when I want to talk
You never lend your ear

Why did I trust you
When you did all these things?
You're not supposed to!
It's not a family fling!

You broke hearts all in a line
But the one you broke most was mine

The author's comments:
This poem was composed by Jasmine Lees and myself. She was having trouble with a mother who has never really been there when she needed a woman figure to look up to. Being an alcoholic, divorced, and fresh out of jail, this woman made too many mistakes in Jazz's life, leaving her hopeless and taunted by a maniac. Without this woman, Jasmine has struggled growing up and being raised by her Dad who has, since day 1 always had his hand on her shoulder.
