I NEEDED YOU
when I was sad and depressed,
I needed you to cheer me up.
instead I drank till I was numb enough not
to feel anything.
when everyone was attacking me and
putting me down, making me feel so low,
I needed you to be the one to defend me
and be on my side.
instead I endured all the cruel words and
criticisms the world threw at me.
when I was scared and frightened,
I needed you to be my security blanket.
instead I had to live in fear.
when I was angry and full of rage,
I needed you to calm me down,
instead I kept it all bottled up inside.
when i felt so lonely and needed someone
to care.
instead I grew up alone with no one to turn to.
when I was hurt and in pain
I needed you to come running with your
healing ways
instead I remained scared and bruised.
when I would inflict self-torture, wanting to
die,
I needed you to stop me and tell me how
important I was.
instead I his my scars and became
oblivious to everyone.
when I would cry myself to sleep at night,
I needed you to wipe the tears away.
instead I held my pillow tight while never
ending tears streamed down my face.
when my world was crashing down on me,
instead you to be the one I ran to.
instead I locked myself in my room in
complete despair.
when I felt unloved
I needed you to tell me how much you loved me.
instead I learned the word "l love you" (mother)is meaningless.
