Mother... Poem by Ria Jacobo

Mother...



Hello!
Goodbye..
What's wrong with me?
I'm sorry..
I don't fit in society.
My skin? Too dark?
Well it sets me apart.
I look in the mirror....
I wish I didn't see her.
I see her face in mine.
I hear her voice.
Could you just leave me alone!
You never cared!
Where were you when all this happened! ?
Why didn't you stop it?
You didn't believe me.
You didn't do anything when you did see.
You told me to shower and it'll be alright.
Every now and then I wake up with fright.
I can't look at my face with out seeing them...and with out seeing you.
