Mama Roach

A Poem by Evangela

I've been around your entire life
even when you couldn't see me
my antennas go up, when I sense something
and I come creeping to see what it is
sometimes you are ashamed of me
sometimes you don't even care
but you know
once I make a home,
I ain't going anywhere
from gassing to stomp outs
I have seen it all
felt the pain too
yes, I am stubborn
and you stuck with me, like it or not
you know it ain't nothing you can do
I carry the strength to climb walls
and things on my back
my presence is all around you
even in these walls
the Lord made me strong
strong, to outlast them all
