Baby I..

Smiling to hide the pain
I look away so you cant see
the hurt i hold deep inside

Fallowing the steps my mother took
I don't know to be ashamed
or to be happy
I took after you and not my father

Dropping out to make it in the real world
Pregnant at age 17
Making life difficult
But i love every minute i am with my son

Working forty hours
just to make it through the week
Enough to make it with my lips above the water

I'm choking
struggling so hard to please everyone
Being kicked out and tossed aside
I no longer know what to do

All i know is that when I'm with her
I smile
My heart skips a beat
and my love for her grows
I never want to walk away
not with out a kiss
not without a hug
baby I...
