You abandoned me at 13 months old You didn't seek enough help You didn't even try hard enough To even be considered my mother Through the hatred Through the anger Through the pain Through it all I still say thank you For making me a better poet For making me the man I am today And I love one girl Her name is Sakota Sure I can't date her or anything But my heart lies with her And you have made me something No one else could ever hope to make me And that is a God Because people know who the hell I am And I have touched several lives Made a few know they aren't alone So through it all I still say thank you
A poem for my biological mother Tammy Lynn Braynard
