Black Poetry : Motherless

[Ikoro]

I'm strong but I'm lonely,
Is it because my mother left me when I was little?
Raised by my father,
But without the touch of a mother have I become brittle?

She has been gone ever since,
Have I sought to replace her with others?
The Isis Papers have indicated this,
...Do I want all women to be my mothers?

See, I brandish ill skill
Never up for a quick thrill
Stay up top with my ill will
But time can stand still...

When you feel like the last warrior standing.

I remember december 8x
I came to the world.
My mother was young enough
To be considered a girl.

Younger than I am today,
But I am wiser and more mature.
Another needless rhyme - lament from me,
What remedy will be my cure?

One.

There are some things that are so difficult to deal with, a hurtful struggle. And yet, you persevere, you become even stronger, maybe even with each write, so there is a reason to jot it all down so eloquently as you do.
