Melecia Williams Poems

sometimes I beg God just to take it all away,
sometimes I feel giving up.
Sometimes I just can't stay.
...

Shoulders back
head held high
a point in her toe
a smile in her eye
...

I lost my wings when you went away
I scream for your contact everyday
I break down into sobs whenever you cross my mind
I will not be okay, I will not be fine
...

When he told her she was beautiful he said she had something different
something quite unusual
...

Look what you've done
look who you've made me become
I can't stand, I can't jump and I'm too weak to run
...

Broken promises and broken skin
it's a long story where do I begin?
a 3 month old and no place to live
it's so damn hard, kids raising kids
...
