Mama Was Unsure of a Cure

MAMA WAS UNSURE OF A CURE Just like life my dreams always end for me Another day to fake what they want me to be Put on a tie or don a pair of old blue jeans Yet I don’t know what my dreams or my life really means It’s been difficult to understand why I survive And I know not where and when I will arrive So I run to my mother and I ask her for advice And she says “son, too oft life is lived for a price” “but mama,” I beg, “how great is that cost, because as of now I feel totally lost?” She couldn’t answer that query without mitigation And she didn’t want to give me any false information Where I am headed is a question only fate can reveal And I know what you sow you will reap and that is for real Reality is something I’ve tried to avoid for far too long But then I say “my mama couldn’t have been wrong” So as sure as tomorrow I will probably awake With no black tie affairs nor parties to partake Because I know not how they want me to act All I know is there have been too many of life’s answers I’ve lacked © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee!

This line jumped out at me....donning your jeans! HOW interesting .... this line is fun!! I liked at the end of your poem you still did not have an answer to your inquiry and then the audience was left to sit and ponder with you...very smooth approach. Even your own mother didn't have the answer...the person you obviously trust the most. Great lil ditty, Jeffry. Enjoyed. Gwendolen
