The Single Mother Poem by Frank Adie

I cannot deny my own blood,
For the sake of having a husband,
Those who think I am a disadvantaged woman,
Must know that I am not a woman for every man.

I am a proud single mother,
Yes, I did not commit murder,
I love my son,
He is my all and all under the sun.

I cannot divorce myself from my history,
That I have a son is part of my story,
If I am not you kind then farewell,
Surely, I will bare you no ill will.

I make glad to always forfeit,
Whoever thinks I am a misfit,
You may go ahead with your negative tag,
Trust me, my self-esteem will never sag.
