You Made Your Mother Cry

{Draft 1


You've made your mother cry.
You broke your mothers heart..

She says

we are poor,
we don't much except 
the honor of name.

you name is only thing you have.
keep it clean

keep your name clean.

Be the lotus in the swamp
Whose leaves stay white among
the swamp.

stay pure.


You've marred your name.
You're cover in mud

You failed her one 
request of you.

In the swamp is where I was born into
and  
the rain 
like her tears
will never
make me clean.

[I am the lotus 
stained 
I am the lotus
impure
I am the lotus
I am the swamp]
