Poem Title:
Poem
Stories, stories that was told on to me, "A woman so pretty, with her flawless eyes. Soft lips, clear skin and her hair dancing tonight." My reflection, grudgingly I dared not to peek, In my shadow that lady was me, But I've waited so long with such zeal. And finally today I turn eighteen! I advance towards the mirror room And from first glance, My heart, It bloomed. "M-mother, you're beautiful but-" My heart is pounding, The tears won't stop. "why did you leave me..Why did you go? Screaming at a lady I have yet to know. My dearest, Wherever you may be, I'm sorry that they took you, Away from me. The love of a mother will always run deep, And nights are where I fail to sleep. To feel your touch, I'd give the world, And in my prayers, I speak your name. I don't have long for no one's time's the same. If somehow you find me near, I plea you forgive me And wipe thy tear. Life was a game And I played it through, With the regret of losing you. There are shadows, I dread and hope you don't meet, That battered before, I turned eighteen. I was an addict. Young and free. Enticed by the drugs, I fell in deep. When I learned about my girl, I turned a blind eye. But I was already embroiled in the game. They thrust me to the ground again. Stumped on my stomach, They spat on my face, Said I had no choice That this was the life that I made. Before I could hide you, Before I could fight, The authorities took you, Before you came into sight.
