Eyes of Emotion

by Kia Pham, 10

You smile at us as you lay our food down

But I see sadness in those eyes of brown

You quietly walk upstairs

I give my sister a quick glance but she doesn't seem to care

Your door is closed

I remember how you always kept yourself composed Whenever you're with me

We've been talking a lot more lately

You say

You have to arrive home late

Because your boss... your own friend threatened you Saying you would lose your job soon

Ever since he left us

The thought of him leaves you in disgust I know I should still love him

But after what he did, he's beyond the rim

And my sister

Oh, and how much you still love her

Even after she screams, "I hate you" And oh, I swear this is true

Those exact words were said But you never got upset

I'm disgusted by my own sister I believe I'm starting to hate her

Weekends are supposed to be fun

But you have to take care of your children Sometimes you can go out with your friends But you can't even trust one of them

The papers are piling up

But your money is barely enough

He doesn't give us the money he promised But according to the law, he must

When I look at you

I see the sadness you never let anyone knew I hope you continue being strong

Knowing the past you came from

You have been through too much

I wish I could leave you untouched

You're a person who shouldn't have this much pain

And I don't know if you know, but I will say those words that may seem lame...

I love you, mom
