I Did Too
Marissa
You only know what you learn
I was so young and had no where to turn
Growing up I said I wouldn't do that to my kid
I repeated the cycle and I did
I left her alone I let her down
just like my mother I was never around
my daughter cries the same way I used to
I wonder if my mom ever hurt like I do
I miss my little girl so much
and now I'm on the right track
I wish they would give her back
I did to her what was done to me
I wish I could tell her I'm sorry
I was so young and had no where to turn
Growing up I said I wouldn't do that to my kid
I repeated the cycle and I did
I left her alone I let her down
just like my mother I was never around
my daughter cries the same way I used to
I wonder if my mom ever hurt like I do
I miss my little girl so much
and now I'm on the right track
I wish they would give her back
I did to her what was done to me
I wish I could tell her I'm sorry
This poem is about a mother who struggles with drug addiction, and after finally getting out, her daughter suffers from the same problem. This just shows how influential you can be to someone that looks up to you, if this mom was there for her kid, or if this lady's mom was there for her then there wouldn't be this cycle of anguish.

This a moving poem and relevant to the story because of the drug usage. It kind of shows the outcome of what people become after they start to do it
