Bitterness Poem by Jessica Waskelis

Bitterness

Rating: 5.0


I distinctly remember when i was 6...
when my mother and dad told me that i was only legally theirs..
my 'REAL' mother only 18 at the time..
couldn't understake a baby.. FEED it.... CLOTH it..... EDUCATE it..
maybe even LOVE it.. a little how could she when she..
was still in school herself.... still LEARNING..GROWING.. DECIPHERING life.... and UNCONSCIOUSLY crying out for a little
LOVE herself..?

I know her name..
I know who she is..
Now she's married and living a Happy life......
Hard to believe at 32 childless....PAYING...(like I always have)
For being too GREEDY...
It's kind of SAD maybe I'll FORGIVE her....
Maybe I WON'T... B/C....
On that COLD..... DARK... day....
When she GAVE me AWAY she pretty much.....
CHANGED.....
MY LIFE......

I'm not sure the depth of these intense emotions was reached in this writing. I saw the capitalization of the letters but somehow, I just don't think they really tell that story well enough. There is a distance contained in this writing that seems to stay away from the hard stuff. I guess that means this is real because this is one of the most terrible things that can happen to a child. What a suffering was done here! GW62
