MAYBE


Mom a word that's supposed to mean safety,but to me it's the epitome of MAYBE, 

MAYBE she'll be here tonight or tomorrow,

MAYBE out drinking, I'm thinking,

this word mom makes me feel irate,

when I think of this word I think of mistake,

my friends parents dont act this fake,

this word mom means abandonment, leaving so she can get higher than an attic,

by the way she's an addict,

i know it's hard,but if I had children they'd be the closest thing to my heart,

MAYBE she'll stop stickin,popin pills, and drinking,

and MAYBE start loving,thinking,and being healthy just maybe,

mom means something to everybody,but to me it's the epitome of MAYBE.
