Billie-Jean Kitchen Poem
I wasn’t asked if I was ready
No answers to my “Why?”
I had only just said hello
When I was forced to say goodbye.

Billie-Jean Kitchen Poem
All I wanted was a savior
Who saw the signs of pain
The darkness deep inside my eyes
The hate flowing through my veins
I forced a smile everyday
Made sure to hide the truth
I wanted to protect you
When you’re the one who stole my youth

Billie-Jean Kitchen Poem
I see the gates in front of me,
The flowered fields that sway
My eyes have started searching for,
The pieces of my heart that were taken away.

Billie-Jean Kitchen Poem
When people comment on my strength
The thing that they don’t see
Is if I’d had a choice
I’d have you here with me
They asked me how I do it
Like it’s really up to me
If I could rot away in bed
That’s exactly where I’d be
But your brothers need me now
And as hard as it gets some days
They deserve a mother
Who’s made the choice to stay
Don’t think in the beginning
It was an easy one
Too many days to count
I wished I’d joined you son
It’s not strength that helps me through
These days so hard to breathe
I still can’t see the reason
That you had to leave
Just know that I’ll keep fighting
This battle every day
And when someone’s asks me how I do it
“For them” is what I’ll say
