A burden of a mother



I know what's its like to be a mother on her own

Betrayed by them all, left feeling all alone

Lost in the game, struggling just to survive

But she keeps fighting, trying to keep her dreams alive

Lost in the system, no one to hold her hand

Baby's in the foster care, it's hard to understand
Mama tried her best, but life ain't always fair
Caught up in the cycle, trapped in deep despair

She's got dreams and ambitions, but they push 'em all aside
The system's against her, but she won't let it ride
Every day's a battle, but she's a warrior
Through the heartbreak and tears, she's gettin' stronger for sure

She won't let the system define who she can be

Gonna rise above it all, just wait and see

Lost in the system, no one to hold her hand

Baby's in the foster care, it's hard to understand

But she won't quit, she's pushin' through the pain

Gotta find a way, break free from these chains

She's a fighter, nothin' else could describe

Every setback she faces, she'll conquer and survive

Through the tears and the heartache, she remains so strong

Standing tall, proving them all wrong

She's a warrior queen, nothin' can bring her down

She'll rise above the struggles, turn her life around

Piece by piece, she'll build that foundation

A mother's love and dedication, no need for explanation

Lost in the system, no one to hold her hand

Baby's in the foster care, it's hard to understand

But she won't quit, she's pushin' through the pain

Gotta find a way, break free from these chains

Yeah, to all the mothers out there facing these battles

Stay strong, never let 'em rattle your spirit

Keep fightin', keep pushin', you'll overcome

Never give up, 'cause your day will come

    Wow, what a powerful and inspiring poem! The resilience and determination of the mother portrayed in this piece is truly admirable. The words really evoke a sense of strength and empowerment, reminding us all of the incredible courage it takes to face life's challenges head on. The message to never give up and keep pushing through is so uplifting and I love the message of hope woven throughout the poem.

    One improvement suggestion would be to maybe vary the rhyme scheme or structure a bit to keep the reader engaged. Adding some subtle changes in rhythm or rhyme pattern could enhance the overall flow of the poem. Additionally, incorporating even more vivid imagery or descriptive language could further bring the emotions of the mother's journey to life for the reader.

    Overall, this poem is a moving tribute to the strength of mothers everywhere and I believe with a few tweaks, it has the potential to truly shine even brighter. Keep up the amazing work!
