The Life Of A Single Mom
May 21, 2019
Working
From dusk to dawn,
While I’m feeling
Like I’m just a pawn.
My Paycheck
Comes back low.
My fingers numb
Like they’ve been in snow.
Wondering
When I’ll get some rest.
My head pounding,
My heart hurting in my chest.
Feeling like
I have no use.
I have a daughter
so that no excuse,
I hope this pattern
won’t be a trend,
It’s solely for her
so she won’t have to fend,
Only then
can she ascend,
But for now,
I can only pretend.

I wrote this piece for my mom. She had worked so hard her whole life to keep food on the table and clothes on our backs. She is very much appreaciated, so I wrote this poem in her and any other single moms that can relate perspective's.
