"Gotta Speak Out"
  by L.edwards
  - This Poem is a response to the poem SERIAL MOM by ROXIE SAYS KISS MY WHOLE ...


**I been watching this disagreement for a min. now and I felt like I had to speak my piece
usually I never get in the middle of things with people specially when I don’t know them but I know im butting in but I had to.

To be a single mom takes a lot of back bone
if you not one you don’t understand that its so damn tuff
and it seems in the world we live in today
nothing you do is ever good enuff
no matter what you do
but ROXIE understand
you a strong ass woman to do it on your own
and i respect you, and thank you for the things you do
cus most mothers don’t most fathers wont
take it from me a child without father or mother
a lonely heart uncovered
they left they child but grandmama loved her
some children don’t have that luxury
to be blessed a caring hard-working woman
as a mother to care and comfort
and while yes it takes two to tango
one stuck in a situation to do it alone
without the other is unfair
if they both laid both as a pair
Planned or not
its responsibility
roxie says she loves and takes care of her kids
no matter if they father turned his back or not
GIVE HER PROPS
a woman willing to take on all the stress
to take all the weight on her shoulders
and still walk with her head high
nose to the sky
she hard working not looking for a hand out
and someone tried to put her on shout
please someone tell me what’s that all about
i grew up in a empty house
without that kinda love
without those much needed hugs
so i know how it feels to be a child without
now that im grown I take care of a 6 year old on my own
that’s not even my own
took him in 5 years ago
and made my house his home
so roxie I understand your pain
I know its hard the strain is killer
so how could someone who has never been there
put in their claim?
working your ass off and feeling like your getting no where
wit no help
its not fair if the daddy out there living without care
so I commend you for being the mother you are
no matter how your kids got here of the circumstances
the important thing is you being the best mother you can be
the rest doesn’t matter to me

***And by the way this is GS right a poetry site
and from what I understand Roxie was writing expressing herself
prolly just letting off some steam
I don’t know her but id prolly say that this isn’t just poetry
to her its her every day life she is writing about
so what gives an outsider to put in their two cents
about roxie's emotions in her life when she expressing how she feels?
when they don’t walk in her shoes or struggle as she does??
