Just a Little Piece of My Life
Just a little piece of my life
I have been through so much ever since I was little
It was almost like my life was just a unsolved riddle
You couldn’t solve it no matter what you did
I would wish I could go somewhere just so I could stay forever hid
I don’t think when I was younger I was ever really that mad
Until everything started to go bad
The fighting began and the police started to come
My dad was hard worker but my mom was a bum
No matter how hard he tried she just didn’t care
Every day when he asked her how her day was, she was so drunk she stood
there with a stare
As I got older she chose the alcohol instead of me
I didn’t get how she had everything but just couldn’t see
There were days that I wished I could just come home and kill myself with a knife
But let me tell you something, that’s just a little piece of my life.
