Your words, they sting, like knives they slice,
But in my heart, I'll pay the price.
For you, dear mumma, I wish nothing but the best,
May God fulfill your every request.
Your words, sharp and cutting, tear me apart,
But I'll endure the pain with a steadfast heart.
For your happiness, I'll bear any strain,
Even if it means my own life's bane.
"Why are you still alive? Die already,"
Your cruel words cut deep, leaving me unsteady.
But I forgive you, for I see your pain,
I know your happiness is what you aim to gain.
So, if my disappearance brings you peace,
I'll vanish into the shadows, my release.
May God grant you all that you seek,
Even if it means my voice grows weak.
I pray God fulfills your every wish, mumma,
Even if it means I fade into the night's hum.
For your joy, I'll depart with a smile so grand,
Knowing your happiness is all I demand.
~Cloie

- Comment from author about the poem: It is a heartfelt expression of the profound love and devotion I hold for my mumma. Despite the sharp sting of her hurtful words, my heart remains steadfast in its commitment to her happiness. It speaks of the deep-seated desire to make any sacrifice necessary, even if it means fading away, just to bring a glimmer of peace to her troubled heart. Through tears and trembling hands, I pour out my soul in the verses, seeking solace in the hope that my sacrifices will someday bring her the happiness she deserves. "I'll Sacrifice" is dedicated to my mumma.

There are no bonds stronger than the love between mother and child. Misunderstandings and hurt can occur and the pain from these is magnified by the depth of the love.
True! Thank you for reading.
The fifth commandment:
Comes with a promise.
Indeed! Thank you for reading.
An extremely well presented autobiographical poem and one that will have considerable appeal to so many others around the world who share the self same uncertainties and devotion .. Neville
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. It's heartening to know that my poem resonates with others who may share similar experiences and emotions.
Sounds like your mother has some deep-rooted issues and needs some serious attention to resolve those issues, but you silencing yourself would be a step in the wrong direction. Somewhere in your mother's past someone derailed her life, but it wasn't you Cloie. Consulting a specialist in how to best help her resolve her past would be the first step. Sorenbarrett said it best above, "There are no bonds stronger than the love between mother and child."
Thank you so much for your caring and understanding words. You're right, finding a balance between expressing myself and supporting her is key. I truly appreciate your perspective and support. Thank you!
With patience and love, you'll both get there in time. 🌹
There will be no stronger bond than what a mother and child will have. Even if the words sting. Because actions are louder than the words that we say.
Absolutely! Thank you for reading.
I wouldn't miss reading your poems for the world.
