Color Turned Blue Poem by Thomas Enriquez

My first time with you, was back in 92’

You held me so close

My color turned blue

I was just as big as daddy’s shoe

I was the first,

You guys didn’t know what to do

Especially Dad, He hadn’t a clue!

But deep down inside YOU truly knew



Then one year Dad died

I hardly knew him, so I barely even cried

He left us here all alone

And the sad part is, He took his own

I guess we weren’t good enough, he didn’t stay long

I was only seven, with a Dad that lived in heaven



U became Mom and Dad

Police came in

Said you were doing Bad

They took me away,

counselors told me to pray

To who? I was only 8, I barely knew the things to say

You promised to get me back

In fact, you did just that

Some mothers would leave it alone, and never come back



Re united once again

you came up with a better plan

A single mom

U needed NO man

Independent woman

No man could stand

If I told you he was no good

You always understood



Freddie was Cool

Taught me everything he could

Unfortunately, he was only street smart

So it never meant any good!

He would take me everywhere

The dude told girls that I was his son

Now whether he did it for the attention from females

Or because he meant it

Lies within him and god

He introduced me to the word “Broad”

Told me to never trust em, “We can only be friends”

And to preach them fraud



He stood around for five years

I love him though

Because I never seen a man cry

Till that day he asked me Why?

I’ll never really know what truly went wrong

It’s between You guys, Guess he didnt belong!



Because of the breakup, I eventually moved out

Made 3 kids, In 2 years

Their all Mine, without a doubt

I have a wife that you barely even know

I made moves fast

Yes, it seems like a show

But I love her to death

(Whoaaaaaaaaaa) Silence



She loves me for me, not like those other

”you knows”

I think you guys should talk

You could tell her about the time I learned to walk

Or when I just started to talk

Or what about wayyyy back when,

Where it all began

Like Back In 92

when you held me so close
