Why?

Why?





As a child I was told you had to love me

As an infant you were made to care for my needs

Growing up wasnt all that easy

I wanted your love whole heartedly

I wanted to make you proud

I did everything I could think of to get your attention

Just to make you smile

Why is it nothing was recieved in return to your child?



I grew a little and wanted and needed you more

Questions I had and pain from the core

Things happened to me from the ones I'd come to adore

I wondered why me? Why I'd be the one lonely wondering what the hurt was really for?

Did I do something so bad? Was I so wrong?

All I ever wanted was your love for my own

Why was I cast aside like I didnt matter?



Getting into adult hood I made a choice

I decided to express my voice

Make myself known

I wanted you to see how I'd grown

still trying to make you proud

I stood, with my voice aloud

Toke all you had to give

Loved you, but still

You gave me your back

Never showed love as a true standing fact

Why must I try so hard in vain?



I had my own kids and made a vow

no matter where life takes me they will know I love them now

Now and later, they will never have to fight or wonder

They will never have to hurt alone

Or do things to find love on their own

They will always have my attention

Not just an empty closet where love suppose to hang as an extentision

Hugs and kisses, I'm proud of you my little misses

Advice and a listening ear

My shoulder for those busy tears

My sword for the battle of their fears

They will never be alone

not as long as I have a soul

my love will always be their home
