All the stories you heard and wish you understood
Its like you can never be perfect even when your really good
Who would have known making love could cause so much damage
Now your raising a baby while your peers are off to college
That happens when emotions over power a young girls knowledge
This happens when parents don’t enforce the value of marriage
It seems like your just traveling with an over load of baggage
No room for perfume and lipsticks when you have baby luggage
A child raising a child girl tell me how you manage
Working all those jobs to keep a roof over your head and food in your fridge
Up at night wondering why God aint let you have a miscarriage
So you got up one Sunday and pushed your son off a bridge
God only knows what led to this event
Or why you didn’t have a vent
God only knows who pushed a child to be independent
Actions are drawn in cement
Sitting in prison without your baby no way you gonna be content
Drowning in guilt no way the devil gonna let you repent
Facing damn near life you gonna wonder where the time went
Just remember your spirit aint broken its just bent
Maybe you was low on love and money couldn’t pay the rent
Maybe you jumped off hoping to see something heaven sent
You gonna regret the way your free will was spent
I dedicate this poem to every single mother
Pulling double shifts and over time cause their aint no father
Your life is raw you let him go in with no rubber
But just look at your creation mommy you have one another
You can override the storms and the thunder
I know its been raining but you aint gotta die under that water
Give yourself some praise you’re a receiver a giver and a lover
I know you didn’t bring your baby into this world to suffer
But every baby needs its mother
I know you wish you would have died and never recover
I know you would wake up from this dream if you can
You thought the bad was over until the worse began
Your life went to fast so you ran
But Gods got a better plan
You gotta trust the miracle man
Its gonna be hard the system and the process you gotta go through
But Gods got a perfect view
He can heal every black and blue
He’s someone you can cry to
He already forgives you
His arms are comfortable like an old shoe
He will give you light to shine too
Because he can make you brand new
You gotta fall through squeeze through
Pull through follow through carry through
Just to break through and get through
Im telling you God is going to see you
He loves you no matter what you do
I wish someone would have told you or stopped you
Still your life aint done
I wish someone would have grabbed you before you pushed your son
To every mom chasing that midnight sun
Just remember in the eyes of a child you are number one
No one can replace you hun
And nothing can replace the results of a bullet from an emotional grip on a gun
never underestimate Motherhood it weighs a ton!
This poem is dedicated to the teenager who took care of her child and duties while holding it all in until one day she kissed her baby and pushed him off the bridge. She then attempted suicide but was rescued. It wasn’t too late but I really wish it could have been prevented. She is facing charges of attempted murder thank God her baby did not die. Her life will be hell all because she didn’t know how to cry out for help! So many victims are being treated as criminals because they never seek out help. Your life is always worth living no matter what! The national suicide prevention lifeline is 24 hours 7 days a week. 1-800-273-8255
No matter the crisis God is bigger. Reach out..
seek and you shall find ask and it shall be given to you.
My prayers are with you all xoxo
