  • MOTHER WHY

    Mother why?

    You abused me with your mouth

    Didn’t you realize what would come out

    You said you never wanted me

    That was love I didn’t see

    You stated you would have had an abortion on it

    That tells me I wasn’t fit to live

    You had no love to give

    I used to cry many days and nights

    My cries were hope in that you would change

    There was no rearrange

    No appreciation whatsoever

    You are at a distance

    You say Mother

    I was raised by another

    My Grandparents

    They gave me the love and nurture

    Kodak moment in my mind and heart

    Love being something you never could

    Didn’t even bother to try

    You saw me as an ugly duckling

    An outcast with no purpose

    Your reasoning unsure

    I became Heaven’s survival see

    You smoked while carrying me

    Death was on your mind

    I am no longer bitter

    You thought of me as litter
    My Grandparents are proud in the person I became

    All I can say it is a shame

    Why couldn’t you feel the same?

    Totally lame

    My Grandparents will always look down on me from Heaven

    They will always say, “We raised you well”

    I have no love for you Mother

    Only respect

    Aftermath wanted to beat me down

    But I am still around

    You can’t have my heart

    Moved on with no regret

    You had that much effect

    I am mature and on my own

    This is how I felt

    My hurt

    My story

    Inspired blessings through glory
