All You Mothers Original

a brief poem about motherhood

All You Mothers Original

Don’t leave us low.
Just leave us high.
Never said hello.
Can’t say good-bye.

Simple. Simple.
Don’t leave a stain.
Nobody sees.
A runaway.

Darkened shadows.
Beds can’t be seen.
Figure it out.
It’s never clean.

Always attached.
Cemented glue.
Can’t get away.
Can’t stay with you.

Pick apart lies.
Tell it to whom?
Take to your grave.
Take to your womb.

Choices aren’t yours.
Made by others.
You paid the price.
All you mothers.
