Growing up too fast


Mom? Please dont leave...

I need you as a guide..keep breathing

If youre gone I dont have much.

Ive gotten a job, I want to help pay for hospital bills.

Just please stay im only 17 now i still need you.

I will always need you. Thank You and I'm sorry...

Even as a CNA I cant help you like I want. 

Im so glad you hung in there, I know now how it is to live alone

with the thought of you leaving me

I take care of you now and make sure the house is clean.

Its hard to see you struggle but im glad youre alive.
