My fate

Today is yesterday and will be tomorrow
Another night of agony and a day of sorrow
I see you smiling, sleeping, my newborn child
Will you stay? Or, like others fly away?

My heart wrenches and eyes cry
When you are ashamed of being mine
I don’t understand what wrong did I do
After growing young, why away you flew

I try my best to give them a good life
But they continue to leave me behind
Part by part, I am drowned in blood
When sisters are raped and brothers are cut

I sob in silence as none reckons my pain
My efforts to please and bond end up in vain
Day by day, a part of me goes cold
Seeing my own drift away to dark roads
