Single parent- by NDOU AI


The endurance of all kinds of hardships,
Didn't make you to throw out a towel on me,
Your ambition was to accomplish what you have started,
Criticism and hate is all you received. 

No body displayed sympathy to you,
Family and friends all changed like a chameleon,
They all turned their backs on you,
You are indeed the rock of Gibraltar,
Imploring and slavery became you way of survival.

Without education, money but a toddler to feed,

you became strong and never abandon me,
You became gaunt for my survival,
A single dime was of great value to you,
You sacrificed a lot just for a modicum.

Nothing lasts forever in this globe mother,
Today you are not looking to an infant,
But proudly to an independent soul,
A carthorse lifting a burden on top of your head.

Smashed

 
Didn’t I provide enough intimacy to you?

Don’t I carry the beauty you seek? 

You crushed my heart tremendously so,

And kicked me violently like a dead rat, 



Being inferior is what you made me believe.

You used me like a slave until you got tired.

Love is blind,I couldn’t notice what’s good or bad.

What made me deserve all that? God knows, 



How was I supposed to know,I thought I discovered love,

Instead I opened my heart for sores, pains and loneliness.

You chose many strangers over me,turned against me like I was never yours. 

Your fake love took my sight and threw me in the lion's cave



To my intimate friends I became embarrassed.

You Made me wonder,Will I ever relish the goodness of this globe?

The sun will shine for me, heaven will pass to me.

I'm smashed but My heart will heal.
