I woke up and opened my eyes
Left my cradle with happy smiles
See mum, how happy she was
But since I became old enough
To understand the world
To see the whole truth
Clearly bold
Mum had the cancer
Daddy was a mental clerk
Comes from work
To call us names, to swear, to give orders
Mum endured it, but I couldn't
I used to sit alone at three am
Crying myself asleep for' im
Like a stupid three year old girl
Praying God may give us a cure
Either to mum's cancer, or daddy's rage
I tried to find a job, a wage
But youths hardly ever do
I had to do something
To keep my family around
Even if I'll eat the ground
(2)
So, I begged people money
Not to live, but to help mummy
She, no longer breathed
And no longer did I beg
And we melted on the street
I, like a filthy ice cube
Left under the sun's heat
And she, like a rotten meat
Left to be dinner for worms that feast
Her body, rot maybe, but not her eyes
Her voice in my ear, telling me to rise
" go on my boy, you'll always find a way"
I see it clear, just over there
On tops of the highest mountain of despair
Over the greatest bridges, that lead to the abyss
In front of giant cars and lorries
Why can't I be like her
Already forgotten
I close my eyes to see
What end shall I follow
Burning in Hell,
Screaming, and tossing in hollow
With mum, looking from far at me
" why did you do this? Son, look at me''
She yells and cries
And I vanish
No
I'll not suicide
I won't
But I know deep inside
That I am already dead
Since mum's already gone
Mesiry.... what's your say?

And lonely the boy lived on, missing his mother, missing her nature, her warmth, her kindness. " He struggled, mourned, he fought. A simple jump and everything could have ended and together he might have been with his mother again.

And lonely the boy lived on,
missing his mother,
missing her nature,
her warmth, her kindness.
"Can there be love, now that love has abandoned me?"
He struggled, mourned, he fought.
A simple jump and everything could have ended
and together he might have been with his mother again.
How was he supposed to outstand that misery?
he felt so lost.

JulielaiWhat is mesiry?Hello julielai,
I think it is a typo and should say "misery". This is for me the logic conclusion after reading sushi's poem.
