their walk their talk
their style their smile
from their nose down to their toes
my how they've grown
...

look into my eyes
when you talk to me
don't look down
you approached me
...

m is for misery that ur children caused you
o is for other people you left us with
t is for terrible childhood
h is for help that i never received
...

people often say
i wish i could've waited
i should've finished school
but always hesitated
...

love me for me
not who you want me to be
the women in me
was created for you
...

when she left i cried for a year
i became more careless
then when she was here
...

i lost myself along the path of hope
im drowning in an ocean
with no vest and no rope
my days are dark my curtains are black
...

all of my present is filled with my past
because of my thoughts, bad memories last
from drama to trauma
from sorrow to pain
...

to go against the grain is to be an individaul
and struggle to survive when teenage life gets critical
from having to decide what morals to apply
to taking mom's advise her words u must live by
...

why is why always on my mind
everyday of my life it confuses me
still i lie cry and then deny
so why ask why you ask
...
