Mama, Why Did You Make Me Feel This Way? Poem by Fatenia Oliver

I didn't ask to be here
But why punish me
For the choices you made
Because it was not to be.

You chose to make forbidden love
To someone which was not of your choosing
But made me pay for it later
Instead of rejoicing.

I am the result of that foolish move
I didn't ask to be here
You treated me so wrong
As if you didn't care.

You kept the truth from me
And when you died, you took it to your grave
I regretfully wish you were here
For what I deserve are answers.
