My Mother Poem by Steven Aragon

In the physical form
My mother is great
From the day I was born
She kept me straight
But it’s never what I wanted
In fact
it’s what I hate
I don’t have a mother
To comfort me
I never had a father
Despite what you see
I learned everthing on my own
Like this world is cold
I wish someone would take a hold
And nurture my soul
All she knows is anger
She can’t speak
I picked it up from her
That’s the sneak peak
I’m trying to let you in
So you know
The difference
I just wish she was my best friend
Instead I rely on the pad and pen
But in the end
I know she loves me dearly
I just wish
It was evident more clearly
That’s why at night
My eyes grow teary
And
My mind grows weary
I need a hug
Oh so dearly
I haven’t felt the love in a while
Catch glimpses of it
But it’s not enough
Is it to much to ask
For a kiss and a hug
Instead of
Rolling eyes and shoulder shrugs
I get more
From doing drugs
I need you to touch my soul
I need to hear I love you
I honestly can’t function feeling this blue
I know I’ve made mistakes
But I promise you
What you see isnt fake
I just want to take
This time out to make you smile
Make this ride
A little worthwhile
But it’s hard to do
When you’re you
The father over mother
Hater over lover
I do love her
But this relationship is broken
I’d rather be outside
Smoking
Cuz we can’t coexist
It’s always a fight
Makes me think at times
I should just end my life
I refuse to be the bigger person
As strong as she is
She’s the adult and I’m the kid
If you want me you have to show me love
Until then
I’ll be high as a dove
You’ll push
I’ll shove
That’s why I say
It’ll never work out
You to this day
Haven’t figured it out
Just tell me
Everything is going to be okay
Have sincerity in your voice
Somewhat gay
Until that day
Things will remain the same
I have enough love to give
But I won’t change
Until you are on the same plane
