A Lifetime To Cry

One day perhaps I'll figure out why I stay around people who make me cry

Acting as if I never really matter And then working hard to try and shatter

Any glimpse of happy and anything that matters

Always being out of control and set on ready to explode

People without any self control

Is there really even love there because if there was they would care

About the place in time that we all share

A family is what this is all supposed to be

But disfunction has become our legacy

It happened because of all the jealousy

Always trying to prove to another

That we are better than our own sisters and brothers

Always Selfish jealous and full of lies The plan was to destroy lives So wicked the game even took my daughter But the good part is she never learned How to be so wicked and team up to hurt Even the women she should thank for her birth Like a beast gorging on a wicked feast And never being satisfied in all the hate Then learning that you can't escape A darkness of heart it's hard to see Even the forest for the trees Hate and love is what unfolds All that our futures could be Broken and wounded we still can't see That all we ever had was each other Especially after we lost our mother
