Dear Mom,
When i was little you were my idol
A mother's beauty cannot compare to anything in the world
Your smile alone made me feel safe
When i was scared i could just press my face into your neck and forget about the world around me
Breathing in the soft fragrance of your perfume made me feel calm
But time is cruel and before i knew it you changed
I can no longer see you as the person you once were
You are no longer the person I can cry with
You are now the person that brings me sorrow and despair
I can no longer confide in you
Now all I see is a liar and a traitor
When I hug you I no longer smell the fragrance i once loved
You smell of cigarette and pain
You were supposed to be my superhero
