Ma mother cries
She says don’t do that.
I tell lies about where I be at
In the mosque, she envisions her daughter on a prayer mat
But really
she at the mall
runnin’ around wit different hoodrats
I mean…I luv ma mom…I’ll say it out loud
It’s just that
She’s in a different crowd…
livin’ unda a different cloud
Her mother cries
Becuz confusionz hijacked
Her mind and slaughter her heart
Her daughters out all hours of da nite
“its just a wedding’.. u told me its alright”
truth be told, it was really Prom Nite
“I couldn’t tell her…that would start a fight…not to mention she’ll neva let me outta her sight”
Weeks pass, she’s pregnant, gains a lil weight
Her energy is gone,
She's loosin’ her shape,
no more a bangin' figure eight
Who woulda guessed it, It was just a blind date
“he told me he luved me..that I was his soul mate”
mother doesn’t get it
cuz back home weight
was sign of good fate
until her daughter begins to throw up every plate
tiresome one every date
“The Shame u brought to this house”
mom first thought is not abort now
nor the courthouse
“No!
we shall save the family name and make him your lawfully wedded spouse”
so she sits there contemplatin’
constantly debatin’…
rarely negating
she can end a life that can possible make hers extremely elating
on the otha hand
marry a fool who is extremely degrading
thoughts of suicide are invading
her mind
as she wonders thru life without a soul for aiding......
TO BE CONTINUED...gotta hit da books now..but "I WILL BE BAK"...see watchu' done did Instinct Poet..lol..u know ur encouragement is at fault if this poem isn't published...riite"
until then...
