from a mother

I’m from a mother and a father

I’m from a father that couldn’t stay

my life falling to ashes

I’m from a mother without water

I’m from a mother from which her world turned grey

every tear that staines the deep dark lashes

I’m from a mother that can’t spare a dollar

I’m from a mother that lost her way

as my world only crashes

I’m from a mother that no one wants to bother

I’m from a mother that lost her honor

and flashes

I’m from a mother that gave up her daughter

I’m from a mother that chose a stepfather

one two three ready set action

I’m from a mother that gave him her pay

I’m from a mother that needs a doctor

every line seems so tradgic

I’m from a mother that won’t pray

I’m from a mother i keep at bay

thats why my arms are stained with scratches

I’m from a mother and father and that’s why i cry everyday

because i'm from a mother that doesnt pay taxes

and forgets she has children playing with axes

and loses her way through the life in front of her drug filled eyes

cant seem to see through her dirty lies

as our lives as young kids flash before our eyes

as i'm holding this knife

i stopped caring about life

as i ran from that house

where evil things live

and now everyone is here to give

my better life

i aint trying to die
