By Shashama

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My mother wasn't there to teach me how to use makeup My father wasn't there to tell my first boyfriend off My mother wasn't there to get my ready for the dance My father wasn't there to lift me on his shoulders My mother wasn't there the first time I was dumped My father wasn't there to take us all out camping My mother wasn't there to paint my nails and gossip My father wasn't there to teach me how to throw My mother wasn't there to hold me when I cried My father wasn't there to say that it's ok My mother wasn't there to give me stern lectures My father wasn't there to say "be back by ten" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I feel kinda abandoned Kinda left out Like I missed something That I really should have had My parents Written February 10th, 2002 © on Feb 10 2002 03:17 AM PST, Shayla Carter   18 • 0 • 1
