"Me and My Broken Heart"

By:Ashley C.J. Tucker

Swish, I’m ballin’

A young Candace Parker

Bustin’ shots left and right

I’m a challenger

I never back down

Afraid to ask for something

So secure of myself

Selling things to make a fortune

Watching my dad be so strong

So open for him, that I would catch Grenades for him

Him holding my hand saying,

“I gon be alright”, “I gon be alright”

Giving my brother and I the littlest faith to hold on to

Me shredding every single tear invested in me

Yes, I’m a Cry-Baby

And Daddy’s Little Girl

In Love with my mama too

She works so hard

To supply My sister and I with our needs

She wouldn’t give you a dime if we wasn’t supplied

“I want to be INDEPENDENT”

“I want you kids to grow up and be something…”

Those were always her words

Now we’re not together

My soul and personality will forever be with her

And my others are here with my dad

On his bedside as he recovers

I hang Me and my Mothers memories on the wall

Everytime I look at them, I burst into tears

And I think of how it was

When we were together
