To my mother

My mother, a neglectful one,
Abandoned me in my time of need.
She enabled the abuse I endured,
And made me feel like I had no worth.

She said she'd be there for me,
But she was never around.
She said she'd protect me,
But she allowed it to go down.

I was just a child,
Trying to make sense of it all.
But she just looked away,
And let me take the fall.

She was supposed to be my rock,
But instead she was my foe.
She chose to turn a blind eye,
And let the pain just grow.

My mother, a neglectful one,
Left me feeling so alone.
She enabled the abuse I endured,
And made me feel like I had no home.
