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
