My mom is the same way, keep creating art 🎭 it really helps with the depression to just get your feelings out. Also I suffer from crippling anxiety from the way I was raised. It's great that you are able to get up on stage and do that, I hope it helps with your anxiety 👍

It’s not about you. She’s the one with a problem. Just be there. Don’t make poems about downing your own mother. You should be ashamed of your self

Just because she is my own mother, doesn’t mean the situations and experiences she put me through aren’t real and valid. This poem is written by a hurt, scared, and vulnerable 15 year old. Poetry allows for the creative outlets to process and heal, and allows others to do so also just by watching(just look through this comment section!). If you don’t like something, you can scroll next time :-). I’m not ashamed of myself , and am actually quite the opposite. I’m proud of myself and ANY ONE who has stopped the generational curse of alcoholism or neglectful or abusive households.

You must be joking. Leave this intelligent young woman alone! She has been through so much and is clearly venting through her writing and poetry and she’s got real talent. This most likely gives her something to live and be excited for in a world where her mom hasn’t let her be a child. Seems like you’ve never dealt with addiction. In all reality you’re the only one who should be ashamed of themselves for saying this to a struggling teenager.

@@Lex-rw2oe you are absolutely fabulous. And so strong! I wish I had such a good head on my shoulders at your age. My dad has been a high functioning alcoholic for my entire life, it’s not our faults but sometimes sure feels like and it and def leaves a huge impact. Learn from her mistakes. Keep writing. You are worth it, you will succeed I can feel it in my heart. You’ve got soul kid, you’re wise beyond your years and you deserve every good thing that will come your way.
