imprisoned body

This happened seven years ago..

We never knew this would happen to her..

I still remember the emotion I felt..

There was no one that could help..

My mother sick from breast cancer..

I put my hands up for those who survived five years after..

I was 13 years old and couldn't understand..

I wanted to be there for my mom as much as I can..

Coming home was just to tough for me..

Watching my mother throw up in the bathroom I just couldn't see..

I cried when I saw my dad shave her head off.

My mom decided it was better if her hair would  be falling off..

I just wanted to escape from watching her body fight against her..

As a young girl I wondered if her body hurt..

All I thought was her leaving from my life.

I just couldn't think of her leaving my sight..

This imprisoned body with so much to fight for..

This disease was messing with her hardcore..

Chemotherapy and radiation was the solution...

Two 8 hour surgeries had to be done..

All I wanted to do was run..

An imprisoned body

Is all I saw..

For a moment I saw a pale face and no more smiles..

Momma and me would talk for hours..

Because she knew she was brave and had to stay strong for her kids..

I remember that was the time I stopped getting down on my knees..

I stopped believing...

This s**t was so deceiving..

Now I think that was all a dream..

Because now it is a different situation..

My momma is still with me..
