Wish It Would Have Been Different


She said she was really young

That she’s always taken care of others but never herself

She told me she loved her mom no matter what, even if she was addicted and would sell drugs

She said she went from rich to poor

Rich, where she could buy anything, to poor where she had to beg for scraps

She said watching her mom get a high hurt the most, but watching her sisters starve hurt worse

She said it was hard being adopted, being forced to leave her mom she wish her mom would stop it

She says it’s a good thing that happened because she has a better life

She says she’s glad she gets to reunite with her again but she wishes it would have been different

Her mom said she was foolish and stupid

Her mom said she did it to take away the pain and now she feels ashamed

Her mom said that they were rich when she would sell drugs but the lost it all because she got addicted

Her mom said they lived in a house the size of a mansion

Her mom said it was hard to stop, simply because she was in love with heroin

Her mom said when they took away her kids; it got worse, only because it hurt her the most

But she says after all these years she final stopped, that it was a challenge, but she’s glad she survived it

Her mom says shes happy she gets to reunite with then again to see her 3 beautiful daughters

Her mom says that after all that’s happened she

Wishes it would have been different
