Dear Momma by Na’Chyna Rogers

By Kali Campbell

I never knew how it felt to be in Heaven I never knew if God is real or fake I never knew that the demon inside me Has taken control over my body To the point where I feel as if, As if God doesn’t love me at all He will abandon me here and Throw me into the bonds of hell God help me please, Show me that you are real Help me to trust you, And chase the demons away from me But, I am slowly beginning to tear apart I am slowly feeling that you are fake You reached other people but not me Why not me? Why can’t I hear from you? Is it the demons that tell me lies? Are you shy or hiding from me? I need answers I want to know if you are real I don’t feel anything nor hear anything I haven’t heard from you, Or at least I don’t think I have There’s a battle that I am fighting I go to church to learn about you And yet, you don’t reach out to me I am angry! I am so lost! Just help me, please Why won’t you help me? Why aren’t you answering my prayers? God help me, answer my questions. Are you real? Or, is this all just a lie?

Why my mom AGAIN? I’ve never been so angry before She’s already sick She can’t take it But, she fought until She couldn’t fight anymore Then, the red and white Lights started flashing Here I am In another hospital room Holding her hand And playing with her hair She doesn’t have enough Energy to even open her eyes A few hours passed And her numbers Started to decline My aunt went over and moved Her head into a straight position Because we knew it was that time I began to cry a little But then, my mom moved Her head, and looked right at me Then BEEPP……………

Since you’re gone now, I regret not telling you some things I miss being able to talk to someone I regret taking that for granted I miss your chubby cheeks That I used to squeeze I miss watching basketball games with you There is so much that I took for granted And now that you are gone, I wish I hadn’t Since you’ve been gone, I’ve missed you more than anything I love you, Ma I pray that I can see you again
