DEAR MAMA


(poems go here) I can say I've moved on from the thought of you being here with me But how can i move on thinking about the changes you could have made to get me I know you wanted to have me in your arms again I know you wanted to be in your right mind so you can love me Love your child with all the love a mother could give I seen you on your way towards a new life You was fighting to come home to your family again You never told me how you was as a child I only heard stories from grandma and Michael "You look just like her" they'll say. They say i resemble you in all of my ways I love that i favor you I just hope i don't take on the life you lived I know you wanted more for me But i never heard you say it The questions that run through my head everyday and every night makes me mad I can't ask you mama because of the fact that your dead I hate living with these questions they irritate me to death My body fill's with anger and my mind blow's in terrible vision My vision is sick and some times just sometimes i think i might do it Then i think back on' I'm my mothers child' I want to make new music with your old I want a brighter future for me and you I want to live and tell my kids a story But i want to live to be free Free of pain i want to live large I want to see my name in bold letters on a magazine My heart is now yours and my soul is ours You will now live through me - I love you mama r.i.p
