Why Me

Sitting here I wonder how this could be?
How and why is this happening to me?
I Had a job, proudly got off welfare,
The rest of our lives i started  to prepare,
After so long we could say we aren't homeless anymore,
We sat excited about what Good thing were in store,
How did this happen our life was going right?
For the first time in a long time i slept peacefully at night,
Then it seems in a blink of an eye ,
It's all gone despite how hard i would try,
Once again i struggle without a job to provide our basic need,
Back to the food bank so my family i can feed,
The worst thing of all I'm homeless hating the way i feel ,
Desperately praying this nightmare isn't real,
Overwhelmed by depression cause my angel deserves everything as wonderful as him,
But no matter how hard I try the light becomes dim,
What do I do it gets harder and harder to cope,
All I can do is try  not to lose hope,
Tell me what if I was you,
Will i ever get a break from the things I go through

My Son

I remember the day i found out about you,
I thought my life was through,
What i didnt realize was my life was just about to start,
From your first breathe you completely stole my heart, 
Never felt so much love,happiness or joy
As i did that day they handed me my baby boy
As the years go by your growing so fast, 
Each moment with you adds wonderful memories that will forever last,
You are amazing so hansome and bright,
What can i say it was love at fist sight,
You are full of suprizes day after day,
I count my blessings knowing i lucky in every way, 
Just want to say from a mother to her son,
That i thank god for you when the day is done

Depression

Depressed
I don't know why but a strong feeling of depression has come over me,
Maybe because I'm forced to reality,
Feeling lonely without my son,
Unable to enjoy my break and have fun,
Also the intense pain of the realization a drug means more then I do,
Is a heart breaking fact that's heart breaking  but true,
Or could it be the fact I work hard to be treated unfair,
Making me want to quit just through my hands in the air,
This hit me hard and shattered my heart,
These are reason why from the world I wanted to be apart,
Scared I might drowned in my own silent tears,
Consumed by the thought of living my greatest fears,
So as I sit here alone and cold,
thinking The answer to my depression was told,

It's Sad

It's a sad situation when I can't live with my son, 
I ask myself what have I done, 
It breaks my heart to see him cry, 
Every time I have to say goodbye, 
The reason I live is for that boy,
He is all the reason for my love and joy, 
Even though he only a mile away, 
It's way to far away for him to stay,
If you could die from a broken heart,
I would be dead cause we have to part,
So I must work hard to get you where u should be,
I will not rest till my son lives with me

Tell Me

What is it that not being said?
Why won't you just tell me what's going on in your head?
Very hard to to tell if it is good or bad,
Is it something that would make me sad?
If it was good it wouldn't be hard to let me know,
Its gonna drive me crazy just let the words flow,

I Miss You Dad

?

Even though I try still I am unable to see,

The pain inside is so strong its blinding me,

Trying to focus the world is unclear,
Daddy now more then ever I need you here,

When you left me on the 14th of may,
A part of me died that sad lonely unbearable day,
My mind clouded my heart so much pain,
Many tears cried myself control is impossible to regain,
I dont know how to go on living without you,
Confusion sweeps over me I ask what do I do,
With you in heaven are pieces of my shattered heart,
The thought of living the rest of my life without you is the hardest part

People

A person will never truly understand,
Till they reach out and need a helping hand,
People will never really know,
How the longing for a person can rapidly grow,
We don't realize how lonely life is till there's no one around,
or how quickly in sorrow they could drawn,
most of us set ourselves up to fail,
how could the human race be so smart yet so dumb,
that we abuse not only others buy ourselves to be numb

Lies

What is it about a lie everyone feels it something they have to do, why cant people just state what is true.

People can not own there own auctions, the put on different shows for different people there's different attraction.

Can anyone one this earth be 100% real, be true to themselves and other on how they really feel,

I am including myself with what I have to say, why for even me the truth is so hard somedays,

Can a person stop lying when they know its breaking your heart, why cant it stop b4 ur torn all apart,

What do they feel when ur dying inside, why do they believe that they tried?

Day after day lie after lie, can destroy a person and not have to try,

Listen

?
When your feeling sad broken, when these feelings are left unspoken,

Needing to talk but there's no to listen, it stays bottled up for just one ear your praying and wishing,

The people around wanna jump in exclaiming how they got it bad, but you just wish for once you can get out why your sad,

Day after day you hope all the sadness would disappear, at least for a little while see things more clear,

Everyday is a struggle trying to make it through, wanting to give up its hopeless being you,

One good thing happens is it worth the ten bad, is all the pain worth the ten minutes of joy you had?

One person to actually listen hearing what you say, could make all the difference in more than one way.

So as I sit here I beg and I plea, someone please not just here but really listen to me

I Trusted You

I trusted you, you let me down, now your not around,
you hurt me so,
I trusted you when you said you would never let go.
I trusted you with all my heart,
Yet you still tore it apart.
You said you would never leave,
Those were word I really believed., I trusted you 
Why did you do what you did, 
From me the cold side of  you was hid,
What happened to having a heart that's true,
I just can't believe I really trusted you.
