Poetry by Jenna Lynn Williams
I miss my babies
They're not here with me
I miss my babies
1, 2 & 3.

#############################################################Stop looking for love
And it will come to u
I found my true love
And didn't know what to do
Here on Facebook
When I took a look
At his poetry
He responded to me

I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't work
I can't play
At the end
Of the day
I haven't smiled
In a while
Not since they
Took my chil'
They live with
Strangers
That's a
Danger
Foster care
Doesn't care
What they wear
Or brush their hair
It isn't cool
To b new n school
To make new friends
This close to the end
Please pro-tect
My babies
And bring them back
To him & me

Do not call
Do not write
Cause it'll only
Cause a fight
U r not there
U do not care
Don't ask me
About my 3
U turned your back
And u got slack
Like everyone
When it wasn't fun
This is not
Fam-i-ly
That I want
For my 3
They deserve
Fam-i-ly
That love them too
And not just he
U WERE my mom
Some time ago
But things changed
That's how it goes
I've never had
A mom for long
That seems to b
My life song
Now I know
How orphans feel
Now I know
Cause it is real
My dad is mad
My mom backed out
My mother never was there
And stepdad does not care
Everyone
Has someone
To fight for them
All i have is him
My kids have 3
David, him and me
That's all they have
It hurts worse than salve

My ex husband
Is a molester
And his name
Isn't Chester
He wants my son
Number one
To b like him
And not like them
Number 2
& number 3
R not like him
They r like me
They like rules
They like school
They do their part
They want 2 b smart
He's teaching him
To molest them
It isn't right
I wanna fight
This is bullshit!
Can't fucking take it!
I want my kids!
They're mine, not his!
I want them to b
Not like he
I want them to b
More like me
Well, less like me
And less like he
But to b
Suc-cess-ful-ly
Don't care what
They r
If they reach
For the stars
Don't care where
They go
Just as long
As they know
That I love them
I'm here for them
I'm here for Roy,
Morgan and him
William Ross
Needs to know
Don't b cross
Everywhere u go
People can
Sometimes b tough
Sometimes the road
Is long and rough
We'll make this thru
Bring us back to u
We love u too
Whether or not u want us to
Morgan,
U r #2
Sometimes u
Don't know what to do
Hang n there
And take care
Of number 3,
Little Beanie
U're doing great
Don't grow up to hate
U're headed right
Don't start a fight
Little Beanie,
Number 3,
Stay silly
I mean it, really.
U r my baby
U always have been
One day y'all will be
Suc-cess-ful men

I'm sorry that
I'm not enough
I'm sorry that
I'm not tough
I'm sorry that
I am fat
I'm sorry that
I'm not "all that"
Thin is in
Fat is not
Where it's at...

No one wants to hear
Or see me cry tears
No one gives a damn
