Hey Ma Look What I Can Do

Hey Ma! Look what I can do without you! I can make friends, I can get into fights, I can ride my bike, I can color, I can meet the monster, I can keep secrets, I can't know I'm beautiful, smart, funny, I'm loved, how to love, I'm O'K, it wasn't my fault without you. Hey Ma! Look what I can do without you! My first kiss, my first ribbon, my first beer, my first joint, my first boyfriend, my first time, I can't know I'm beautiful, smart, funny, I'm more than one night, how to heal a broken heart, a bottle of pills won't solve my problems, I will get thru this, without you. Hey Ma! Look what I can do without you! Move to the southern most state, pay my bills, meet a man, meet the wrong man, get married, have kids, get beaten down, mentally and physically, this is what I did without you..... pull myself up, kick him out, get a divorce, survive, find true love and marriage, raise my kids, know I'm beautiful, smart and funny, own my life, secrets, scars, weight, love others, love myself, without you.

This is a string, powerful poem, but with undertones of sadness. And still a feeling of pride. That is wonderful. Welcome to poetrysoup :)
