That Man

The man I thought would be.
   In reality was the man never for me.
My hopes and dreams to become a mom
 Fell shortly when he threw the bomb.
     Black eyes and busted lips well
       I was never phased.
   When he kept saying he loved me ,
    Gave me the reason to stay.
  Pregnant at four months and was battling
   The pressure of what’s to come.
   Never would I realize he would kill my
      Baby before I could run.
     Jail time he was in for and I left to a better place.
  Never stay in a situation where life’s chances  could be your saving grace.
   I have grown up to realize that even through rough times there’s a rainbow.
 So I’ll wait for that shooting star because I still have my life to show.
