PAST RECOLLECTION

I was just a past recollection
i was always the second thought on your mind
you never even cared, you just left your children behind
i felt bitter and blue
i guess a part of me missed you
but why do i? when you rejected me
i was just left in the cold for so many years
i was no longer a part of your life
now i'm older you pretend like it's alright
but how can it be? when this pain hurts me right down to my soul
almost as if all the happiness in me has been sucked into a black hole
I was a little girl trying to hold onto something that was never there
i was a daughter to a mother who didn't even care
I am vigorous, strong and secure 
i don't need you in my mind anymore
I've grown into someone better than you will ever be
i just hope one day you can look back and be proud of me.
