Mom
I suppose you wanted to leave us all behind
Momma, what am I supposed to do? Love you?
I chose to write this poem to belong and find
That life is so beautiful beyond the hedge, who knew
I want to be kind to myself once more
I am handsome to the core...me, I adore…
I need to forgive the horrid past
It won't last, it goes by so fast
I guess you wanted to move on from your family
Momma, what am I supposed to it? Accept it with a smile of pity?
I chose to write this rhyme to set my mind ablaze with desirable hope
I can cope with the coursing emotions inside if I hold on to life's rope
I want to think positive and do what's right
I am stronger than I realize, I am not alone and I'm not a failure as I take flight
I need to forget the hours wasted somehow
It won't last longer than a minute, so take a bow
I won't grieve anymore
I won't fight this silent war
I won't leave worry ajar...I chew tension's tar
I won't break promises that are made from afar
I won't escape my endless, personal responsibilities
I will accept my many possibilities and opportunities
I can't just give up and let sick sorrow sink in again
I can't just give in to a failure's mentality from within
