I, You Deserve Better

by Hephzibah

You raised me from my birth, Even from when I was a toddler You promised "by you till death" Before I even know you're a mother. My teen years are all before you, You nurtured me well to be strong To stand for the right cause, any who Needs your courage and fight along. But, the story has changed so great, You stabbed and pulled triggers on me So also as the love I have turned to hate, I deserve better O mother, even me. Heroes of yesterday are on your street Clothed with the blood of your brutality You deserve better and not this hit, When will you wake to this reality?
