Why Can’t I cry?
Why can’t I cry when my mother is not here and I have to fit in with a family I don’t belong to?
Why can’t I cry when I feel alone in the world and I don’t have anyone to protect me from harm?
Why can’t I cry when I don’t fit in the crowd and I don’t have real friends?
Why can’t I cry when I feel like everybody in my life are against me and people treat me wrong?
Why can’t I cry when people are constantly breaking my heart and leading me to believe they love me?
Why can’t I cry when I’m fighting the pain of yesterday and hoping for a brighter tomorrow?
I can’t cry because I am a strong individual.
I have goals in life that I want to achieve and crying is a big waste of time.
If I want to make it in this world with all of this negativity;
I have to be strong for others going through the same thing.

Insecure Girl
Tell me who is this girl I see in the mirror.
She is so beautiful to the eye.
But when she looks at herself, she can’t do anything but cry.
She takes her time getting ready for the world.
But one thing she doesn’t know is that she will always be an
Insecure Girl.

A Mother’s Role
What is a mother’s role?
A mother’s role is to protect and care for the lives she bring into this world especially her baby boy.
To be there in the most difficult time in his precious life.
Be there to watch him grow into a handsome young man.
To help him through school, encourage him and make him proud to call her mom.
