Mama
Mama never told me
Through all the bedtime stories
How hard life will be
How were never truly free
Never gave me insight
On life's inevitable fight
Or how one mistake
Can change entire fate
Mama never warned me
How much I will hurt
From gifting my heart
To ones who do not deserve
She never told me
Not everyone loves like me
Even my family
Why didn't she tell me
Mama never informed me
The struggles that lie before me
Did not prepare me
Maybe because neither she predicted my future to be
