As I had said last week, I am doing me. So to start up my new writing segment "Pen and Paper", I am sharing with you this poem I wrote a couple of years ago. The words explain it all and no it did not happen to me!
MY TEARS
I wonder if I should tell Mother
My only worry is how she will take it
Will she embrace me
or will she chase me away?
I am just ten years old
Not only am I growing
But I also do not understand
what is going on with my body.
I finally told Mother
She cried and held me tightly
I could see she was more than hurt
She put me to sleep.
Tomorrow I will know
The results will come out
Dad is nowhere to be found
Everybody is looking for him.
I wonder why I didnt scream
Why I took long to tell anyone
but I couldn't
I was too ashamed of myself
And the pain;oh the pain!
My only worry is how she will take it
Will she embrace me
or will she chase me away?
I am just ten years old
Not only am I growing
But I also do not understand
what is going on with my body.
I finally told Mother
She cried and held me tightly
I could see she was more than hurt
She put me to sleep.
Tomorrow I will know
The results will come out
Dad is nowhere to be found
Everybody is looking for him.
I wonder why I didnt scream
Why I took long to tell anyone
but I couldn't
I was too ashamed of myself
And the pain;oh the pain!
PS: Mothers please be alert for we live in a dangerous world. If a man can turn on his pets then what would stop him on turning to that little helpless bundle of joy?
I wish you all a very fruitful week.
xoxo
