A BLUE BIRD PERCHED ON A WINDOW

 A BLUE BIRD PERCHED ON A WINDOW

My momma never came. This is the first time she missed my birthday. I found out she only missed it because she was in jail. She say she a be out soon. She say she gone buy me all the junk I want. She say she aint gone never stop loving me. She say she gone do better, she say it's a promise. She say. She say. 

She said she aint get to get a hold of me because she spent the whole day being processed. I cried after she didn’t come, waited at the window for hours, she never came. Don’t know how to feel as I hear her voice, confused, mad too. Is it okay that I’m mad at my momma? I won’t see her for a while, hope she’ll get better, she said she’s really sick. She always sick when she goes a long time without hustling. I wish she could hustle without going to jail. Polices are so stupid. They’re bad people, they put my momma in jail and she just trying not to be sick.
