I Did It For You
A Poem for the Strongest Woman I Know

I did it for you, Mama.
I worked myself to the bone all day every day.
I did it for you, Mama. I gave up time with my friends.
I did it for you, Mama. I tried my hardest to get along with, them.
I did it for you, Mama. I received my diploma.
I do it for you, Mama. I hide my struggles everyday.
I do it for you, Mama. I keep myself secret from everyone.
I do it for you, Mama. I try to be strong.
I will do it for you, Mama. I will make something of myself.
I will do it for you, Mama. I will become a strong, independent woman.
I will do it for you, Mama. I will find my purpose in this world.
I will do it for...who? For you? For them? For us? Or, for me?
Me. I will become strong. For Me. I will be someone. For Me. I will find out who I am…For Me. I can not do it for anyone else, except, Me. Everything I do, I have to do it for myself. I have to become someone that I am proud of. Someone that you can be proud of, Mama.
I did it for me, Mama.
I distracted myself with work.
I did it for me, Mama. I gave up time with the friends who never really cared.
I did it for me, Mama.
I tried my hardest to get along with them, so I wouldn't make you sad.
I did it for Me. I received my diploma.
I do it for me. I hide my struggles every day, so you don't have to worry.
I do it for me. I keep myself secret from everyone so I don't worry.
I do it for me. I try to be strong. As strong as I know you are.
I will do it for me. I will make something of myself.
I will do it for me. I will become a strong, independent woman.
I
WILL
DO
IT
FOR
ME
