I didn't know you

I didn't know you mother.

I saw the outward manifestations,

of the pain and abuse.

And I blamed you.

But I didn't know you.

I saw you as my responsibility,

my burden,

I blamed you for that.

I didn't know you.

I was consumed by my own pain.

I wasn't there for you.

The loneliness must have been unbearable.

Because you were sunshine.

The world tried to contain you,

to control you.

My own mother.

I didn't even know you.
