Ever since I was brought into this world
I’ve seen my mom go through hell
It’s sad how unaware others are
About what’s hidden under this shell
I hear her yell, scream and swear
I hear it all the time
I try to run, try to escape
But I can never make it on time
I don’t blame my mom
It’s not her fault she’s like this
She’s been cursed
By others around
Yet so many are unaware of this
My mom is in pain
She’s hurt and broken
I want to hold her hand
But I don’t have the guts
To get up and say
Mom, just hold my hand
I’m filled with anger, loss and fear
I sometimes scream and cry
But not once do I point a finger
Because my mom is there
She’s the reason why
I love her much but can never say
Too scared to let her in
I’ve pushed away, everyone
Created a barrier within
I run away from hugs and comfort
Scared I’ll let it out
I’m alone and alone
But I don’t say
My heart is filled with doubt
I’m sixteen now
But it’s still the same
And I want to sit and cry
But I stand up
Be very brave
But don’t tell others what’s hidden inside
