Sally`s Poem - Slam Poetry Training and Competition - Round One HD

Dear Mom, I was only ten, When it started, Noticing things, Get my heart broken, And here I am, Standing on this stage, Speaking out my mind, Letting every piece out, and I still remember, My Mom aching voice, And how my dream, faded away, Like a knife into my skin, But all I did, was sit and pretend, And for my memories, my memories Kept biting me, haunting me, Like a war living in my thoughts. And I wondered, If I was your male child, Would you have came to me, Asking your own daughter, To give up on her dream, or just leave it to last After all, I am not your male child All I wanted was speed fast, And a roller skates, That made me who I am, But after all I am not your male child, I was only 14, at the time, All I ever wanted was to fit in, Let the world see my scars, That made me live in fears, Dear Ma, I feel lost in this world, That already judged my own Stuttering nor skin, All I wanted is for you to listen, See, My dreams are more than a white wedding dress, But would you support or show me more stress? But how could you know? How could you know? When your sight is deaf nor your ears are blind! Too much anxiety too much to worry, I was only 15, You made makeup hide my scars away, Like a butterfly across the universe, So society would like me, But all I ever wanted, Was a pen and a paper, For you to feel my pain, Instead I laid awake, rather than being asleep. After all, I am not your male child And I wished, if you only knew How I fought my own demons, Late at morning and early at night, God! I am a dreamer, Just open your eyes, Show me the power, that made you bare 9 months to see me, Dear Mom, Dont let them judge me, Nor get into me, I am already bitter and not better, So dear Ma, Just love me, love me, as your female child Love me as your only child
