Never Tell Mama Poem by Favour Chinemerem Ugwumba
Never Tell Mama
I'm surrounded by Fire
And it's burning me
but don't tell Mama
I'm surrounded by Water
I hold my breath
Drowning in death
But don't tell Mama
A lot has happened to me
these past Days
I've tasted betrayal
from my friends
And it has changed me
I am now a vulnerable child
waiting for death
But Don't Tell Mama
I trusted A lot
Even those I should not
I'm in deep pain
I'm in deep agony
But please,
Don't Tell Mama
If you Do
She will run to save me
from fire
And she will get burnt
She will run to save me
from Water
And she will get drowned
She will try to save me
from friends
But will end up hurting
herself
Keep this A secret
Never tell Mama

I read couple of your poems, I must book quick to appreciate your choice of employing simple words in painting your picture.it made your works easy to read & the messages easier to comprehend. Then mama shouldn't suffer where the cross is ours to carry. Lovely piece of work!
Hmmmmmm...... A stupendous African versification. I love the innocence the poem paints; the voice of words used successfully depicts the young child trying to beat the downs of life without stressing his mother whom he knows will trouble herself trying to help him out. The quicker a child realizes life's problems without relying on his parent, the easier it is for him to surpass
