Just how I feel |
They took me away My world was shattered I wanted my mother Nothing else mattered You abandoned me You left me alone In a world so cruel But look how I’ve grown Even without you I’ve done more than okay And though that’s true I still wonder every day What it would have been like With my mother by side To protect and guide me With tears that fall with pride You made an effort to see me Once in a blue moon More often than not you cancelled Singing the same old tune “Where’s my mother?” I always cried “She’ll be here soon,” They always lied My heart wept for you Though it seemed you never cared I wondered if you even wanted me Your love felt unshared As I grew older I wanted to see you less and less Though my heart still needed you I was confused and under stress Even as a grown woman Who found her own way out I tried to show you What my love was about I tried to talk to you To tell you I needed you How could you be so ignorant? You couldn’t possible understand the hell I’ve been through. You chose everyone else over me Every single day I tried so hard to love you But you threw my love away And though I had so much My love for you is depleted I’ve exhausted all my options And I truly feel defeated Just know that I am a strong woman Despite everything I’ve been through I’m a survivor, never a victim And I had to do it without you |
