Dear Mom
you did your best
but this one's all on me.
Mistakes I've made
you're paying for
so tired Mom,
I need some rest.
I remember the little things
how you always held my hand
hard days at school
our my silly jokes,
you were always my biggest fan.
Dear Mom
it's getting closer
I have to go away
there's so much more I want to do
so much more to say.
I don't get to raise my kids
or watch them turn to 3
my days I'll spend within these walls
most nights, I'm on my knees.
I close my eyes
thinking of you all
prayers pleading to the sky.
Just know that I'm so very sorry
if you ever wonder why.
