I sit here and hold everything in
Need freedom just wondering when
The mascara and eyeliner always goes away
From sitting here and crying everyday
The one i really want is gone and never coming back
I miss him a lot and thats a fact
My dad always yelling because we do so wrong
When I get older he going to think real long
About how he wouldn’t let us do what was right
Thank God im trying to find that light
It takes me along time to get rid of the pain
The more i think the more i gain
My mom who is in my world forever
I will never hate her, never
She is there for me every step of the way
She makes me think before i say
The problems that I have in my teenage year
My children when i grow up will never fear
I will always love them like my mom loves me
They will live the best years of their lifes, for people to learn and see
That children are the life that keeps the pain away
Pray to god but never turn away
