Meleseini Meki Poems

I'm expressing how I feel
As my eyes fills with tears.
Why can't you look at me
I'm standing right here.
...

I've done all that you've asked of me
And still you deny.
That I've done something for you
Saying that I lied.
...

I've been told so many time that I won't make it in life.
Say I'm a worthless mother and especially a wife.
At times I believed because my heart so cold.
Always had a weakness for everything I was told.
...

I'm a mother of a little girl who's an angel from above
Her father was an aggressive man who I've always loved
He hurt me over the 10 years being together
But still I held on trying to make things better
...

I came to you with a wounded heart
You've taken it as it was torn apart
You healed it and cared for this wounded girl
Who's been tortured tormented in this cruel world
...
