***I haven't done an unofficial Vocal challenge in a minute. But Lamar Wiggens posted a poem for the keeping it 100 challenge that drew me in and made me want to give it a go! Check out the link below!
I failed as a mother. This I'll never forget. I did the thing I swore I never would.
I became my parents...
in my own unique way.
This I would never let down.
Then I realized victimizing and shame
was not a good look on me.
Yes I failed you,
yes… I lost you.
But deep down, I just couldn't shake this feeling that I can still be better.
My mother broke a thousand promises
to me growing up.
I only had the time to break a hundred to you
before the universe said enough.
Losing you was what gave me
the motivation to be better.
So later if you become curious,
I'll be here…
Ready to do the thing never done for me.
Be better.
