Poems About Bad Mothers

A Toxic Mom
In the shadows of a strained home,
Bitterness fills the air.
Cold words like icy stones,
Wounds that never repair.
Promises broken with ease,
Trust shattered, hearts in pain.
Lies that flow like a breeze,
Leaving a dark, lasting stain.
Love twisted into chains,
Control wrapped tight around.
Freedom drowned in silent strains,
Hope nowhere to be found.
Eyes that once held dreams,
Now only reflect despair.
A toxic mom's cruel schemes,
A child lost in her snare.

God Gave Us a Challenge
God gave us a challenge,
Wrapped in a mother’s guise.
Her love felt like malice,
Pain reflected in our eyes.
Her words were sharp daggers,
Cutting deep and swift.
Tears fell like silent rain,
A cruel and painful gift.
Through the storms and sorrow,
We learned to stand tall.
Resilience in our marrow,
Forgiveness after all.
Lessons carved in hardship,
Strength born from the pain.
We rose above the turmoil,
Endured the darkest rain.
God gave us a challenge,
To teach us how to thrive.
From a mother's harsh embrace,
We found the will to survive.

The Bad Mother
In shadows, she stands,
A figure cold and grim.
Her love a barren land,
A life forever dim.
Promises unkept,
Harsh words fill the air.
A child quietly wept,
Burdened by despair.
Hands meant to comfort,
Instead, they bring pain.
Hope torn asunder,
Tears fall like rain.
Nights filled with sorrow,
Days lost in fear.
A future hard to borrow,
When love isn't near.
In the silence, a child,
Lost in the storm.
A life defiled,
A heart never warm.

The Broken Compass
A mother lost in mirrors,
Her world a selfish gaze.
Guidance turned to shadows,
In a narcissistic haze.
Promises like echoes,
Lost in empty halls.
A child left to wander,
Through life's uncertain calls.
No hand to hold in darkness,
No light to guide the way.
The compass shattered, broken,
In a mother's careless sway.
Eyes that seek approval,
Find only vacant stares.
A heart that yearns for kindness,
Meets indifference and despairs.
In the silence of her absence,
A child learns to grow.
Navigating through the chaos,
Strength from pain they show.
