without a chance

they looked at me
they knew im in care
they think if failed
how do they dare?
judge me
because of what they did to me
they dont give you a chance
to prove what a good mother you can be
they take you're child away from you
without a care
how can they do this when they have no prove i cant look after my baby
when they've never given me the chance
why cant they give us a chance like they give other teenmothers?
they tell me teenmothers fail
they make me believe i have no chance
but how would they ever know
if they've never given me one?

i looked at you

the doctor cut ur cord
and handed you over to me for the first time
but yet the last time aswell
i looked into your eyes
how helpless you was
so gentle so sweet
just so innocent
but they took you from me
without giving me a chance to make things work
as i handed you over
i could see the grin in there eyes
the selfish bastards
why do they always get to win
and now i think to myself why did i let them win?
just so selfish they are
now will you know
when you see me in the street
im your mother
and i love you with all my heart
and no one can change that.

just some poems i wrote about this......there not very good but at least i tried

Those are beautiful poems. I'm sorry you are going through such a hard time right now. I wasn't in custody for very long, but my first bd was pretty much his whole life so I know how hopeless it can be when everyone is telling you you can't succeed. You will succeed, and you don't have to prove yourself to anyone. You seem like such a strong determined person. Don't let them get you down. Feel good about yourself, don't lose yourself, because if you do you will be letting all the forces against you win. Rise up, be thoughtful, be patient, and you will prevail in the end. I know it seems hard right now, and it seems hopeless, but soon you will be free to make your own choices, and you will regain the control in your life. You are a beautiful writer. You shouldn't say your poems aren't very good, because they are very heartfelt. You're right you tried, and you succeeded in painting a beautiful picture with so few words. You remind me of myself a few years back, and I hope all the best for you. Please continue to post and know that even if we don't agree with all of the decisions you make in your life, we are here for you and here to support you. The only thing I have to say about TTC is, while considering the pros and cons, think hard about the pain it would cause you and your baby to be separated at birth. It could be so unbearable, and if you want to improve your life sometimes you just have to wait. That is a hard lesson, and I wish I learned it long ago, but I am still learning it today. Keep your head up, sweety.
