Six Years Motherless


The words she's gone from the doctor The hysterical crying, bloodshot eyes The worst ride home The father saying "I dontcare where you stay" The move The guilt setting in The talk with him The " I want you to move back home" The feeling he wanted to use me The warmth from my new house still The days I locked my door, cried The days I use my apperance as a shield The days I'm angry The days i want to hit him but don't The days they ask me " What happened to her" The days I break down The days i see her for a split second The six years made me stronger The poems, they help me relax The time I wrote about her, just now The many years to come of a motherless child

This is one of my first poems I wrote after my mother past and I hope that it helps me win this scholarship.
