again<br /> Don’t worry about the boys, they'll only hurt your head!<br /> I don’t think mommy understands, I need the male attention <br /> Cause daddy never gave me his. Bubba didn’t either <br /> He was always too busy for me. I can only understand that now, now that I’m older. <br /> Mommy I say With tears in my eyes. <br /> I loved him. <br /> Baby she says You’re only 12. Stop worrying about them.<br /> If mommy only could understand, those thoughts that ran through my head! <br /> Those thoughts that made me feel dead. <br /> I’ve always felt like I’m not enough for anyone. <br /> But everyone always reassures me that I am. <br /> I can’t believe them, not after the guys I've been through!<br /> I have trust issues, but I don’t want to say anything about them.<br /> Mommy don’t understand I’ve always felt like nothing<br /> Like no one ever loves me. <br /> I’m a normal teen girl, she says, but I don’t think I am. <br /> I’m a teen girl that writes poems, only so that she can read them. <br /> A teen girl that does things that no one else does. <br /> Of course though mommy doesn't know.<br /> I’ve never felt comfortable tell people about how I feel<br /> Not even before daddy left. <br /> I write these poems so that I see how I feel.<br /> Mommy put me in therapy.<br /> I don’t think it’s working, but I have to pretend it does so she’s happy.<br /> Mommy wants me to think she’s happy, but I know she’s not.<br /> Because I’m the same way, I want people to think I am happy too.<br /> But it’s never the truth.</div> </blockquote> <div
