Our Mother

we watched you over the years standing on the corner at all hours of the night when we approached you,you didn't know who we was looking at you we didn't understand why,was it the men or the promise that they made, to make you feel safe and secure or the drugs that made you feel strong to hold your ground what about us and how you made us feel we have a mother that we depend on so much how can you help us when you are so far gone we are waiting on you to tell us why,you broke our hearts over and over again how many times can you lie in a one weeks time you said you needed this and that but that was a lie we know why and what it was all about, we cried out so many times and did things that you wouldn't believe just to see if you would come back to us we love you mom we always will
