Just Because...

by alsim_25

Just because I am the daughter of an alcoholic I'm not my mother I'm not going to drink Just because I am the daughter of an alcoholic I'm not addicted I'm not going to be a drunk Just because I am the daughter of an alcoholic I'm not damaged I'm not in a downward spiral Just because I am the daughter of an alcoholic - - I only want a sip
