Mother

I use to walk with my head down

Wondering

Lost begging for someone to save me

I was always pushed aside never good enough

Wondering

Why did u hate me

I was just a little girl

Sad and confused why I wasn’t ever good enough

The days I could put together a little bit of shine

You came in to stomp it out

Always beating me down

What wasn’t I good enough

All I ever wanted was to be loved

You only showed me darkness and demons

The drinking the partying the lies the games of the streets

You were supposed to protect me

But u hated me

Told me I wasn’t good enough

Your favorite line to me……”what’s wrong with you”

The fists and the hands around my throat as u tell me u want me dead

The life u gave left me scars

Scars that will never heal

I’m broken because of u

The chances I’ve given have left me with more scars

You have never protected me

You never cared enough to guide me to give me a fight chance

You have always been so wrapped up in pain

That all you cause is pain

U have broken two generations

I’m praying my legacy can heal

The return of vengeance

Shows grace and beauty

Strength and wisdom

The pain you cause no more suffering

I am enough
