for my mother

by shawn - Libra

his daddy left at age three,told him he wasnt his kid at age twelve,he used to beat on me,took his anger out on me,anger bottled all up inside of him,throwing chairs and breaking walls,the choas just begins.his teenage years we all thought were bad,momma thought that disrespect would go away,she gave up her life for him,at age 15 haveing a kid cant be easy,he just didnt realize what she did for him,
(and now... she crying again... he called her evry name in the book... she got that old look in her eyes again......she got that look like she could die.... and all i do is hold my little brother and cry as i say it will be ok)
i know he hasnt had all that easy,my dad took him in his arms and he pushed him away,he tried his best but what does evryone want my daddy to say,putting my mother threw hell,evry day,anytime there was a chance he would get her started,it was like a rise for him to see her cry,it was like he had no soul,he was just so cold hearted,he hits age 14,gets thrown outta school,and angain he trys to get her to feel his pain
(and now... she crying again... he called her evry name in the book... she got that old look in her eyes again......she got that look like she could die.... and all i do is hold my little brother and cry as i say it will be ok)
he meets her,there he was and there we were,out to the side like we came second in life,the family meant nothing to him,as my mother is holding my little sister inside of her,he drives her so close to insanity,she looks at him withthe tears rolling down her face,i didnt leave you,i stayed with you,i didnt leave you like he did,i gave you a home,i made sure you ate,i raised you the best i could,but you still try to make me feel this horror,i just feel so bad for her ,i couldnt belive it could come to this,he had to be taken away.this time he went crazy and hurt her for the last time,as he cried there and then he said to her,i guess i wll never seeeither of my real parents
(and now... she crying again... he called her evry name in the book... she got that old look in her eyes again......she got that look like she could die.... and all i do is hold my little brother and cry as i say it will be ok)
