Dear child,
I am your mother,
But I'm like no other.
I fed you, clothed you, loved you.
Yet all you see is monster me.
I nag you and I yell at you,
But only when you deserve it.
It's only because I want the best for you,
can't you see?
You say you hate me,
That I don't understand you.
But here's the thing,
I was once your age,
I know about all of the terrifying,
stressful, monstrous things teens go through.
I'm here for you,
I will protect you.
I tease you, and I scold you.
I will be there for your first crush,
And I will be there to crush the boy who hurts you.
I build you up when you are broken,
I make you laugh, you make me laugh,
But it's all just a token.
No one can take my everlasting love for you away.
I'm sorry,
I left you at a time you needed me the most.
But I still love you, even as a ghost.
I pushed you away,
So that you would be okay.
I told you I would always protect you.
Don't fret, my child.
It went quick and mild,
I didn't feel a thing,
Till I saw it all from up above.
I saw your pain,
I saw you cry.
I wanted to hug you, to stop the rain.
I'm sorry my child.
I always love you.
I am your mother,
I am like no other.
