Notes About The Poem

                          A case of bad family history repeating itself
 

My Mother's Daughter





 My Mother's Daughter 

No one listened to me 
No body finds me 
No one fought for me 
No one took a stand 
I slept in a strange land 
awaken a stranger 
I cried a river 
the steaming tears 
dancing with the undulating water
reveals a saddened reflection 
mirroring my world
sweeping me back to yesteryear
