Left Bhind Poem by shaniqua parker

She left w/o me. I guess she thought dat i could breath w/o her. It hurts 2 know dat i'll neva be-able 2 show her all da thangs i can do. People tell me 'dont worry she's in a better place'. But dats bullshit. What can b betta than being w/ me? Im living in a shit hole. I go day by day all alone all on my own. Dat-aint-right. What did i do wrong? I dnt deserve 2 be on my own? I didnt kill or take sum1 elses life. So y go -n- take mine? What did she do wrong? I lone to 2 feel her touch, hear her voice. I'll give my very life juz 2 c her smile again. People always say dey undastand. But dey dont. I was only 8 yrs old. I didnt think diz would happen 2 me. i cant say 'mommy said this' Or call my mom -n- kno she'll b there. I cant wake up from a bad dream -n- c her face. I wasnt actually taught 2 love myself or others growing up after dat. I wasnt taught 2 speak my mind. I dont have a mom to say 'hey babe ur gettin big'. Damn how did i get dis far? How couldnt i have saved her? Why did god take my mom from me?
