Why I Write
Storming out of the house,
stumbling over myself
stares as I enter the yellow bus
as eyes devour me,
grumbling under their breath
waiting. impatiently
were days that turn into dark
cooking ,cleaning,helping "mom's" out
DOING MY PART!!
all ended when my heart dropped...
as I was handed my diploma,the key to a new start.
Family in the crowd, rooting me along
"YES!! you've done it"
you have break the cycle BE STRONG!
the first one to step out trying to be somebody..
The first day of College
Nervous and Quiet
My parents Kissed my forehead to an tearful
"GOODBYE"
glancing out of the rear view mirror
wiping a tear from each eye.....
MOMMY left me,not as her kid but, an rising adult.
feeling alone, without my mothers touch
I began to write fulfilling each sheet..with warmth in my heart!!
this was the day that I began to compose
re-writing my family cycle throwing out the OLD
defeating obstacles...making my own path!!
re-writing a NEW START!
AMBITIOUS, FURIOUS, AND BOLD!
