IM SORRY DAUGHTERS
THIS IS MY APOLOGY
I’m sorry for thinking me leaving was a better choice ,
I’m sorry for giving you away to your grandparents,
I’m sorry for walking in & out your life ,
I’m sorry for not begin your mother first,
I’m sorry I had you at 14,
I’m sorry I was so young & did you so wrong ,
Sorry for all the mistakes I have made by you ,
Sorry for rising your sisters from birth & not you ,
I’m sorry for giving Zymaira away to Cassandra ,
I’m sorry I let dyft get involved,
I’m sorry I lost all my children at one point and time ,
I’m sorry that y’all had lived with strangers ,
I’m sorry I had to see y’all in a office ,
I’m sorry I lost our home ,
I’m sorry I destroy our family ,
Wish I would have choose better fathers for you girls ,
Wish I would had got my act together faster ,
Wish I had stop running the streets a long time ago ,
I’m not asking you to understand me ,
I’m not asking you to not be angry,
I’m not telling you how you should feel ,
I’m not blaming you ,
Y’all are my children and I love y’all with everything in me ,
One day we gonna be alright ,
One day we gonna look past all this ,
I just hope it don’t be to late ,
To my daughter dazir you didn’t deserve to not have your mother because of my issues with your grandfather ,
You didn’t deserve not waking up to your mother ,
You didn’t deserve your mother not taking you to the doctors, your first game ,your first praised dance ,
You didn’t deserve to not have me ,
You are more than enough ,
You are my world my 1st born ,
You made me a mother ,
I just wish i could have done better by you ,
I’m here now & I know you scared that I’m gonna leave you ,
I know you scared I’m gonna make a promise & then bounce ,
I know you scared ,
But trust that mommy has learned from her mistakes,
I old everything to you because without you I would have never went back to school ,
Shit I prolly would have never had kids if wasn’t for your beautiful self to come along ,
And showed me real love ,
It’s hurt to know how much I hurt you ,
I don’t expect people to stop bringing it up ,
I don’t expect them to think I’m stay around this time ,
All honesty I don’t expect anything from anyone.
Because nobody knows how I felt all them years I couldn’t be there ,
All them nights I couldn’t hold you ,
Believe it or not you In Zymaira went thru the same thing ,
My two older kids got it the worst ,
And for that I’m truly sorry. ,
Forgive mommy on your own time ,
Come to me when ready ,
I will not force you I will not make you ,
I will not treat you unfair or unkind ,
My love for y’all is unconditional..
Mommy forgave herself over and over again ,
But until I make things right ,
It wouldn’t change a thing !
