I Cry Motherly Tears

When I sleep at night it's your face I see,
     Living for your addictions and not me.

It's your fears I hear,
     Not my own or anyone else's.

All because I cry motherly tears.

My knowledge is far beyond my years,
      Your life is my fear.

And yet i'm supposed to be the child,
      And I live for you and me both?

You don't know the pain your causing me,
      All I ask for is to be free.

So when I cry ,
      I cry motherly tears.

Your the parent and I'm the child,
     Your the hot and I'm mild.

I cry motherly tears cause,
     It's your face i wear,
     Your voice i hear,
     And your soul I care.

All cause I cry motherly tears.

Some Where

I thought that there was some where,
some where I would be liked and loved.

      I looked for that place,
      but I never looked straight ahead.

I thought what I was looking for,
may have well been dead.

    dead of every soul and spirit,
    tears I cried for that special place.

I looked around,up and down,
as my tears kept flowing like an endless stream.

    I thought I lost my only dream,
    I saw through the dark and thought I saw light.

but it was a never ending sight,
I blinked an still there it stood.

  exactly 4'11 with pretty eyes and hair,
  it stood there nice and tall, like I wasn't even there.

I stared and saw a beautiful face,
a unique individual, someone different.

  I realized that that person was me,
  I cried because I was a sight to behold, to cherish.

I smiled and dried my eyes,
an at that moment I promised to never cry.

  my special place hadn't died,
    I just never looked at what was in front of me.

     


      there, in the mirror, is I where I found my somewhere...
