My Reasons for my being here:
I am not here so you can ignore your partners
needs.
I'm not here so you can leave your partner
alone.
I am not here to see you mistreat your
partner.
I am not here to be enslaved by your selfish
needs.
I am here so that you both are not left alone, scared
and confused.
So, please don't scar me anymore, I have been scarred by your lack, of love and compassion, towards your partner.
Remember, that partner is my mother.
Remember, I sacrificed my happiness for yours.
About this poem
I wrote this poem because of the pain I feel for my mother with dementia. I write poems to feel better and let the pain out of my chest. I write my poem because I have no one to talk to.
