I'm starting with you because we have a rocky relationship. You weren't ever there, still to date. Drugs and alcohol have always been more important, I get it, I will never be your proudest moment. All I ever wanted was to make you proud of me, for you to care, now I don't even remember your face.
You are my mother, yet I can't remember you ever saying you loved me, until I had something you wanted. Mother, you forgot me in the mix of you addiction. Mother, you left me for cocaine. Mother, you ran away because I asked you to come to my award show when I got the golden heart award in 4th grade. You left me all alone. Mother, where were you my whole life?
