Inconsiderate Mother

Maybe she doesn't understand 

Her babies are the future 

Their success should be the plan.

Someone once said it's easier 

To mold or raise a little boy

Then a man.

And your baby girl needs you,

Someone to show her how to respect 

Her self and protect her dignity 

Not to just accept it, say fuck it and agree.

But HE was her first priority.

She did everything to keep him

Determined not to lose him.

She was into deep with a man unworthy,

Not once did he encourage her to 

Be a better mother.

The hunger for attention depleted her faith. 

She negotiated her love with the demons within,

Leaving her children to beg for her affection.

Abandoned and confused.

The desire for her own comfort 

Cut into her motherly instincts.

Weaknesses became and amenity.

She let her children down.

And this is where the next cycle begins,

Or does it end?

Is loving and cherishing your children unconditional something that is taught? Or should it just come naturally?
