Happy Mother’s Day to the horrible mothers,
You have broken your supposed children
You have scarred us both mentally and physically
And today you guilt us into wishing you a happy day,
Mother’s day is my least favorite holiday
And it’s for selfish reasons,
I know there are mother figures out there
Ones who really deserve the praise
But today reminds me of what a screw up I must be,
My own mother couldn't love me enough to care for me
So she hired people to do it instead,
And I am grateful for the one who was there the most
She helped shaped me into who I am
Probably the reason I’m not into drugs or drinking,
And today I wished her a happy day
As well as the mother of my mother
Though that was more of a sign of respect
And of course the sisters who took me in
Secretly I meant it more to one than the other,
As I have always seen one in a mother like light
While the other has always been just my sister,
To keep the peace I contemplated my mother
Considered unblocking her, for only just a moment
But I couldn't bring myself to do it
I can't pretend that everything is fine with her,
I won't fake it for the sake of a holiday she ruined for me
And it hurts her feelings
I should be sorry but I’m not
She brought it upon herself
And someday I hope we celebrate it together again
But I will not hold my breath for it,
And I won't get my hopes up
Because hope isn’t something I can afford to invest in,
At least not with her.
