Every Mother Knows... Poem by Owoeye Taiwo Bisola

Every mother knows;
The stretches of stress on your silky skin.
Every mother knows;
The stings of scorpions inside your soul.
Every mother knows;
The aches you hoard inside your heart.
Every mother knows;
The weaknesses that weighs you down.

Every mother knows;
But will fight you, then flaunt you like a prize.
Every mother knows;
But her whips weave patterns on your body.
Every mother knows;
But wants you to face your fears without fear.
Every mother knows;
But loves you with the last breathe inside her.
