Don't Worry Mother

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2008 with permission of the Author.

I wake up from bed with a fear in my eyes
Another painful day will lead to my cries
I look around the room and all I see
Is a room full of hurting memories
Getting beaten and wiped until I turn gray
Mom whispering, "Stay one more day."
Her weeps for him to stop just lead to more
Leaving her bleeding and full of sores
I wonder when this all has to stop
One day I'll be brave enough and call the cops
But until I do, I have to stand this pain
That burns in my heart like an angry flame
I don't care about what I'm going through
But the sad thing is mom's going through this too
All for me and that's why
I think I deserve this and I'll go by
One day looking for a door that'll lead to a clue
That mom and I will go through
And leave my dad to live in hell
And burn within the steel jail cell
One day it'll happen when I can't take no more
And this pain that remained to store
Grief will go away
And I'll be in heaven, there to stay.
