Shut Your Mouth Dont Criticize
I'm sick of the criticism
It's like their is vandalism
On my heart and way I live
Because I just want to give
My children the best I can
With a loving gentle hand
To guide them through the roughest times
So they'll look back and always find
All the love inside my heart
Will be there and not depart
Years will never make it fade
Their life will always be made
From love, care, hugs and much more
It is from deep in my core
So when others speak about
They should already be out
With a job and their own life
It's like somebody took a knife
And stabbed me right through the back
I don't like to get attacked
From those who don't know the story
Of our life-- it brings me fury
That they judge my parent skills
Getting a big giant thrill
Knocking me down with their words
Not knowing how much it hurts
The words they are daily saying
Of the p8cture their portraying
Its far from the real truth
And a past that made me choose
Not to make my kids go through
Everything that made me blue
So I might not be as tough
Like other parents who are rough
Pushing their kids till they break
That is the one huge mistake
I would never put them through
Mind your business--don't intrude
Unless you know the REAL me
And why I treat my family
A little different than others
I am not trying to smother
And put out their flame of life
I'm just holding off the strife
From entering then to fast
Lessons learned from my sad past
