Letter For You Poem by Letter From My Mother's Womb

Letter for you

Be ready,
Be on steady,
This will be harder than Icebreaking,
Harder, than first time riding a unicycle.

This might break your heart,
This might leave you hurt.
This might let you drown in your tears,
This might leave you to give out to your fears.

Before doing so,
Allow me to say,
From today,
Your tomorrow might take a different turn.

I know you, you're strong
Strong enough to swallow this.
You'll know how to get yourself together,
You're harder than a leather.

I pray you're in your senses,
You've tighten your shoe laces,
Had an exchange for your braces,
This will read and raise anger.

It might let alone arise hatred,
Remember, not to hold a grudge
Set your heart free,
To live in peace.

This might cause destruction,
It isn't a fair chain of truth,
Truth distribution,
Do not mistaken it all to be a myth.

I wish I could have to say this differently,
I could say it eye for and eye,
But, situation doesn't allow
After this, you're free to get angry...
