Dear my baby
I was criticized and humiliated
Only because I chose love.
I was bad mouthed and cursed
Only because I chose myself.
I used to think they loved me
And I realized it was because they benefitted.
As soon as they found out I was expecting
they said it serves me right.
And whenever I visited them
they'd make calls left, right and center.
Not because they cared and wanted to update others,
but because they wanted to spread rumors.
They'd smile sometimes when they see me
but I hated it because I knew it was fake.
My mother got insulted
My values got questioned
My self-respect got judged
That's when I realized that blood knows no boundaries.
I named you experience and your dad named you beautiful things...
I'll tell you the whole story one day
Love
Mommy
