Single Mother



She's a single mother.
Fighting hard not to struggle.
But she has been left alone by a promising brother.
She didn't know how to trust another.
She has two beautiful children.
Glued to the full time job of being a mother.
A single mother.
Trying hard not to struggle.
Waiting for a prince to pull her from the rubble.
She's in trouble.
Bills are accumulating on top of each other.
Sadly, her patients are begining to flutter.
She's employed, with the job of teaching her children how to depend on each other.
Teaching her son how to be a man, and her daughter how to be a woman.
Teaching her how to be a better mother, and her son how to be a present father.
Teaching her children that decisions make life harder
She's a single mother.
Fighting hard not to struggle.
Single, alone, with countless burden.
She's just living the life of a single mother.

{Contact Information mfisher20019@gmail.com (202) 903-5527}Im Michael, 26 year old Washington DC native new to the poetry community. Initially i was scared to try the poetry thing for public view....people and decisions that have been made, make it somewhat difficult to step out on a limb and express such talent. Typically my writing come from internal thoughts and feelings towards certain situations. My completed pieces of work are typically finished within minutes of the idea of the piece...I hope everyone can find something enjoyable about my work.. I welcome advise in reference to my work, as this is a new venture for me. Thanks to all my readers more…
