My Mama Always Said

growing up my mama always said you will fall in love but it would'nt last.
my mom was right and now all is the past.
she would say they would say anything just to get to you.
why everything your mama say always come out to be true.
she would say don't do them wrong just cause they did you that way.
a smile of a better person all because what my mama say.
i use to say she don't no nothig cause everyone is not the same.
a wake up call made it change.
i use to not believe nothing my mom would say.
believe it all cause she will be right in a way.
now i go to my mom with advise.
because even no she sometimes wrong she always right.

Strong Black Woman

I finish school, worked and been through love.
these are the days of  strong black woman.
I been hurt many times.
I did wrong.
I picked myself up now the pain is gone.
these are the days of a strong black woman.
I said mean things to my mom.
I remember how she put me on this earth all the time.
these are the days of a strong black woman.
I cried and been through many bad choices.
I no them things was wrong but im strong.
Im a strong black woman.

Waiting For Your Return

Im taking this day by day.
Is tomorrow going to be better than today?
I use to think that all was wrong but this will go for long.
When is he coming home?
We use to talk and laugh so much.
I just want u to hold me.
I miss that touch.
We went to school together and now we grown.
This will last for long. 
When is he coming home?
At first we had our ups and downs.
But we realize theres more smiles there than frowns.
When will the pain be gone?
This will last long.
When is he coming home?
We went through thick and thin together always having each other back.
You always no how to make me laugh.
My days have turned to months.
This will last long.
When is he coming home?

Meaning of Love

I thought love was beautiful to i met the man of my dreams.
he who i loved and up went my self-esteem.
through my high school years i really tried to stay like i am now.
like this!
now that my first love gone he who i miss.
Reality is a big step to life.
before you love someone you have to make sure your life is right.
don't ever say you love someone if you don't mean it.
they will hurt you and the love you didn't have you will receive it.

Thinking of How It Could Be

i use to just sit back and look at the grey mountains.
hoping one day i will be there and not just looking.
what is it like being in a world that nothing is bad?
we will never know to we loose something good we had.
what is it like with no pain or man that cheat?
if we didnt have none of them things this world would be neat.
i use to think nothing will hurt me because im a good girl and on my side they will stay.
i use to think that but now its to late.
soon the things you ever grow to love turn into hate........

Recovering Me

I guess there is no more hurt in me.
i moved on.
this is the new me.
i can't look at man the same.
thank you for this good change.
im where i need to be.
only me had the strength to recover me.
yes i walk alone.
im happy cause the pain is gone.
there is a new beginning.
all that was the past is now the ending.
im where i need to be.
only me had the strength to recover me.
no more tears falling.
no more lies.
me i made change.
i now realize.
no one walk beside me.
alone is just me.
im where i need to be.
only me had the strength to recover me.

Walter Its Me

i remember me first going to high school i was so lost with low self-esteem.
my first love changed me.
he said i was beautiful inside and out.
them words made me see what i was truly about.
we use to write letters to each other and pass them to each other in the middle of the 
hallways.
out of all the moments i miss in my life it was the high school days.
he was the one who have me my first kiss.
after someone like him pump your head up you move on and him you dismiss.
i never got to tell walter how sorry i was for being a teenager in high school.
deep down i know he knew i wasnt like any other fool.
we would walk in the rain together not caring if we got wet.
because together is all we wanted to be at.
9th grade was when we met.
we was together for 3yrs and than that was that.
after high school for alittle we still kept in touch.
now we loss touch.
i still think of how we would walk high school halls holding hands and how after no matter 
what i put you through you still was my friend.
will i ever see walter again?
he was my first love and for that no one could recover.
he was my heart, my soul.
my first lover.....

When I Grow Up

When i grow up i want to be a writer.
No i singer!
I don't no maybe to people im a complete stranger.
When i grow up i want to have three kids.
No ten!
I don't no it's up to my man.
When i grow up people will judge my reality writing.
The books!
You no it's not all about the looks.
When i grow up i want my mother to no i would take care of her no matter what shift.
When i needed a hand she was always there to lift!
When i grow up i want people to act they age.
Don't give up be happy you walked that stage.
