even though
i was afraid
of a man who
called me names
my mama always
protected me
in every single way
she never meant to hurt me
she always let me say
what was on my mind
so the pain would go away
the man who always hit me
mama never like
she always said stop it
then he would always make her cry
i would i aways sit in a corner
and hide from that man
then i gathered courage
just like my mama had
pleaded him to stop it
or i would call the cops
thats when he brought
that thing thats called a gun
now my life my quickly drowning
and my mama was shot four times
i never got say my last good bye
thats when he look gun
and swallowed that bullet
i wish my mama was strong
enough to make it through it

Wow that's a horrible thing to go through, I'm sorry this has happened to you... I can see why your mom is so special to you. Hope everything is alright with you now. I think everyone deserves better than that. Good luck.
