They say I have my mothers smile My mothers smile mothers smile mothers mother mom Such an unfamiliar word Unless you count the questions "Is there a mother figure in the house?" "What about the mother?" "What would mom have to eat?"-"Oh, no, shes just a friend." Because normal expects you to have a mom But my mom well, she died of brain cancer died of brain cancer brain cancer cancer Such a familiar word unless you count the way it only comes out in shushed voices Be quiet when you talk about it no one wants to bring up memories to bring up memories up memories memories Such an unusual thing childhoods filled with tears confusion worry hope then death. And the future well she wont be there to make any more memories

I feel the depression in this poem ... In this .... voice of a shattered heart. I hope you don't feel this poem as much as I do. and If you do, I hope you try and live for better things in life than sadness and regret. I can't say I love your poem ..... I can't say I hate your poem. It's just a really powerful poem .... Take care -T

I can relate to your poem as mother died 46 yrs ago with cancer and i still have moments that i think of her these thoughts and feelings never go away i still miss her as i was only 16 years old time when you need a mother.Your poem is sad but it does have feeling and painful.good.
