Poem Title:
Poem
Remember me, I am the woman who on that dark Friday night walked alone not knowing what was to come my way. I am the woman that endured endless pain from the hands of a stranger taking advantage of my weakness and immaturity. I am the woman that on that Friday night laid there in the rain holding what was once my virgin body but was now condemned and covered in scars and blood. Remember me, I am the woman who tried so desperately to hide the 6-week year old pouch that held the results of the worst day of my life. I am the woman who was then shammed and disowned by my family after failing miserably to hide my deepest secret and was now forced to provide for myself and the child growing inside of me. I am the same woman who chose not to take the easy route of abortion but to give my child life because he deserved that much. Remember me, I am the woman that went through 19 hours of labor and suffered the worst pain that ever struck my body. I am the woman that bore the child of my rapist without any support or anyone to bring me comfort. But I am also the same woman that made the toughest decision of my life when I put you into the arms of another family and said goodbye to you forever. But remember me, Because I am the woman who wrote you endless letters every day from your birth until present day of your 18th birthday. Because I am the woman who has been to every event in your life without you knowing, trying to keep my distance yet still remaining close. Because I am the woman whose life forever changed that dark Friday night yet my only regret is not being a part of yours. So remember that you had a mother that loved you so much that she gave up the only person in her life to ensure that you had a better life than she could provide for you. So remember this and remember me forever because I am and will always be your mother.
