Why?

Why?


Why’d you leave me stranded
When you didn’t have to leave?
Why’d you choose to go away?
Did it have to do with me?

I was told you had postpartum
But didn’t know what that meant.
Why didn’t you take pictures of the places that you went?

Why did I call others, “mother”
When you’re the one who gave me birth?
Why do I still think about you
Even though sometimes it hurts?

Why aren’t we together
As a mother and her son?
Dad told me that God decided
There could only be one.

Why won’t you see me graduate,
Get a license and a car?
Why’d you have to leave me behind
Without me knowing who you are?
