JUST POETRY

DISGRACE

She pulled her out of the toilet with force.
Since she heard crying, she went to see the source.
Just to find her daughter crying in the toilet.
She even noticed, she had gained some weight.
She asked her why she was crying.
But the girl didn't tell, she just kept sobbing.
You could tell she was frightened.
By the way her shoulders were bent.
And how her Lips were quivering.
She couldn't even look at her mother in the eyes.
Because she knew of all the lies.
She had told her in the past.
She knew that the secrets she kept, wouldn't last.
Since it would show within months.
Her mother looked at her, waiting for a response.
But she got nothing from the child.
Who she knew had something to hide.
Her mother took of her belt and told her to tell.
She hit her so hard, that she even fell.
She looked at her mother
And immediately knew it was over
She said "mama can't you see?"
"Im pregnant and i have HIV."
A tear escaped from her mother's eyes as they wet her face.
She didn't know how to deal with this disgrace.
She looked at her mother with regret in her eyes and said  "I'm sorry mama."
