Why should I feel ashamed, because
you really belong to me.
Why I have to hide that I'm your
natural mommy.
Yes, I made a mistake that I can't fix,
but is that a reason for
everyone to treat me
like a bitch.
I was young and fast in the azz.
My mind was full of soup
drowning the decision
If I should keep you.
I prayed to God and to the only lady I
called Ma "Please don't let my baby
fall apart from me now",
but she just said I was only
fifteen, what do I know about
keeping a baby.
I know when I leave this Earth I'm
leaving you alone, Which is one thing I
don't want to do to anyone.
Let me breath just one more time,
I really need to hear you cry.
Here you are in a world so
cold with no true mother to
call your own.
Don't wait until the end!" something a
friend said, but she doesn't know the
whole story. I do thank her for
trying to be comforting, but
she can't help the empty.
Well, before I can move on I say
must say three words.
I know might not seem like much or
seem like they mean anything
at this point, but I want you to
know that...
"I'm your mommy."
Reason for writing:
I'm only 19, but at the age of fifteen I had a baby girl. I was in foster care and the lady I live with told me that she wouldn't take care of the both of us, so I gave her up after 3 months. I also gave up my rights and now I don't know how she is or where she is and I just had to say something about it.
