Why do u cry
Your a grown woman now
Why do u ask why
Why do u ask how
Is it becoz the pain continues
And u can't get a break
Do u feel u've had enough
And that u've had all u can take
Your 2nd girl
Pains u like the first
But when it happens a second time
The pain becomes worse
Do u ever wonder
If u were meant to give birth
When u have children
U must treat each one like your first
But your first gave up on life
She now lives among the rich
And ur second girl is your last hope
But she calls u a bitch
Why do your children
Suffer such pain
Is it becoz they're depressed
Or are they insane
What do u want from your offspring
Do u think u've given all u can give
Then why did your youngest bird
Find another nest to live
Why does ur middle child
Suddenly feel distance from u
Is it becuz he gets high
Well what did u think u do
Why is your oldest son
Dead and buried in his grave
Why weren't u there for him
Why couldn't he be saved
Will ur oldest daughter
Ever wake from the dead
Was it all the medication
That polutted her head
Just like the many pills
You've taken all your life
To try and be the best mother
And succeed as a wife
But u dont enjoy ur success
All u do is cry
And u wonder why all your little birds
Decided to leave the nest and fly
But the question is
Will they return to u
Maybe if u stopped crying and smiled
U will learn to fly too
