Forgiveness

I still pray to God

To bless her womb

And all the wounds

That she has sustained

I now know of her pain

And how nothing she did was in vain

My anger separated us further before

Her blood ran through me

But I wanted more

Back then I didn't understand

 And I'll probably never fully know

About everything she sacrificed

While she was living on her own

She swam in tears

While her body was attacked by depression

Everything was falling apart

And no help was given at the doctor sessions

Her journey to cope

Caused her not to pick up the phone

I was feeling the effects of resentment

While numerous thoughts ran through my head

This is a message to myself...

Don't lose faith in her

Like you've done to so much others

She may not be perfect

But she still is your mother
