Itama's Last Son Poem by LoKis White

Itama's Last Son

Rating: 5.0


Dear Itama,
I don't know how to start this. I want to hate you for leaving me living.
This is the feeling I am having at the same time thanks I'm giving
To you for the months you carry me pain you had to indoor
For the nine months and those few days more
You still left in this place to fend for myself
Yea my dad was there but whom else
My stepmom tried but something was missing from my heart
No love, no care, every relationship end straight from the start
My whole life I search to fill your void in my life
Nothing I did never ever turned out right
Mama it been years since you left and went to a better place
It's so hard for me to remember who you were or even imagine your face
That hurt me a lot I have no pictures or memories of us together
I am like a bird wanting to fly but I never even had a feather
I understand why people tell me you didn't have a choice
But remember after I turned six I could never hear your voice
You couldn't dry my tears; you couldn't calm my fears
They couldn't understand they didn't have my bad years
As the years went by I learned to deal with it and got some things done
As I got older I learned that pain is a part of life and it come
I am big man now I have two daughters; no I didn't have a son
I had a wife it didn't work O well after 20 yrs it's done
It wasn't her fault because of some of the things I chose
I was looking to find Itama instead of take care of my rose
She is gone now and all was well and done
I learned not to cry over spilled milk
Thanks you Mama
I love you
Itama's last son
