Momma

Momma, can you teach me how to fly?
I wanna learn.
And daddy, can you teach me how to cry?
I wanna hurt.
Momma can you hold me in your lap?
I wanna be your little girl again.
And if this is what love is supposed to be,
Then I don't want a part of it.

Momma, can you teach me how to fly?
I wanna learn.
I guess you'll never know,
how alone your words make me feel.
I guess you'll never show,
the love we talked about that seemed to real.
Love is a roof; love is a plate on the table,
to you.
And there's no telling what,
a little bit of nurturing can do.

Momma, can you teach me how to fly?
I wanna learn.
And daddy, can you teach me how to cry?
I wanna hurt.
And everything you say,
pushes me further away.
Your insecurities find you looking,
for someone else to blame.

You hurt me because you love me,
guess that makes sense to you.
And you'll live through me,
because I can do all of the things you can't do.

Momma, I know you did your best to fly,
Doesn't he hurt?
And daddy, I wish that I could make you cry,
What are you worth?

Remember the promises?
The changes that lasted for a while?
Remember all the screams,
and tears you forced out, of a little child?

Momma, I know you did your best to fly,
Doesnt he hurt?
And daddy, I wish that I could make you cry...
What are you worth?


Author notes

This may not work so well, as it originally started out as, and was recorded as, a song. Thought I'd post it anyways.

    Welcome to AllPoetry!

    I can feel the pain and anger in your words, and it works better than you think. But I am also going to say, sometimes things change and you may not understand...at least until you yourself are in the same position. I remember saying things that I would never do to my kids, so on and so on. Now that I am a mother, well, I wish I could go back and put my foot in my mouth.

    Welcome to AP. If you have any questions or need help with anything, feel free to IM me.
    Keep expressing through writing.

      thanks for the welcome!
      You are right that things usually change. I just don't think this will.

    This is really deep. The pain and maybe even the anger you felt definitly came through in your wording.I related to you when you talked about wishing you could make him cry.Keep up the good work.
