Reclusive Years
Pop! punch, kick, man!
All that power come from yo' han'.
To increase my agony,
And decrease my hope,
To overflow my inequity-
Until it is impossible to cope.
You never did take me to that learnin' place,
You just knock up the counter,
And tell me "get out my face!"
At times I thought,
You didn't even care.
Your actions-
No mom will ever compare.
Now I have grown up,
A bit wiser than before.
For every ounce of hate you had towards me,
I love my kids 10x more.
Although you beat me,
From the time I began to crawl,
I learnt to forgive,
But take a lesson from it all.
Cherish your child,
As if they were a golden dime.
Because years fly by,
Along with time.
