Mother

By Cameron Foster

The queen that wears no crown 

Although she holds no authority 

She is always full of doubt 

For her strength has no bound 

No other person’s knowledge can amount 

For she may have no crown 

But she is a queen no doubt 

She holds her head high 

So nothing can hold her down 

She manages work, stress and kids 

No matter what she’s going through, she always feeds their mouth 

Those she has feelings of destruction 

She make sure they won’t come out 

Shes struggling now 

But won’t make a sound

No matter how hard it gets 

She tells her kids 

That life will come around 

She hides her frown 

In doubt, fear and sadness, 

she starts to drown 

She tries to fight her urges 

But stuff piles up and it merges 

She’s a diamond 

But doesn’t know what her worth is 

But the power in her it surges 

She’ll never let them be worthless 

Even if she is workless

They will never know what her hurt is 

She shields them

Because she knows they don’t deserve this 

By her,they won’t be deserted 

which is why she’s always workin’

Her back and her feet are hurtin’

Her inner demons be lurkin’

But she’s got no time to be nervous

She’s got two kids to be nursin’

Got no money to buy curtains

To block the pain on the surface
