just a single mom?

Just a single mom?

I am the strength, the enforcer, the nurse, the curer,

I do what many cant, 

I live day to day with almost nothing,

But I work two jobs to make enough so my son doesn't want for nothing,

I wear clothes passed down multiple times,

I need to make my son happy not i,

my hair is a mess. but my son needs a haircut more than me,
Those shoes are so cute to bad my son needs something again to,

maybe next month i will treat myself,

next month never comes,

when will it be time for me?

my son is more important and so is food , 

Its ok to lose myself, the only one who needs me is my son,

Im everything to my son,

what are you to your son who has two parents,

he only has me, im doing the best i can, 

But my son is always as happy as he can be,

I must be doing something right ,

to see that smile on his face it definitely pays to be me!

Growing up To early makes you change, 

Change your thoughts and your being, 

For now it's about this little tiny human being,

A  being you create which was a Lil fun, 

But now it's time to grow up no more fun, 

You lose yourself and your dreams, 

For now they are just distant memories, 

Bills pile up, your work cuts hours,  your only 18 and your world turns sour, 

But you know there is a way, 

For that tiny being Isn't tiny anymore,

He is now 4, 

Your 23 and realizing its almost to late,

To go back to college and have an actual career,  allot of stress, allot of sadness because you knew you could have been great,  your a great mother always stand on your feet, but at a dead end job that's not bitter sweet,  but I look in my sons eyes, 

I would do it all again for his laughter is unique,  and when he smiles I know I've done something right,  

This Lil boy is my sun light, 

He guides me through sorrow and pain, 

That's when I know I will be OK. 

one more chance!

one more chance,
is all i need,
to make you relize we were ment to be,
i have changed,
and i need you back,
give me some slack,
you got a girl,
i have no man,
you were my man,
i will wait for you,
no matter how long it might take!

Hiding

hiding,
with no place to go,
wishin you would stop,
stop believing in what they say,
and believing that i am fading away,
i am in hiding where am i to go?

love vs. Hate

what hppens when,
the one you love,
becomes the one you hate?,
tears and joy fade,
hatred and fighting becomes a game,
but the biggest of them all who can push the other over the edge first,
by name calling,figting and teasing,
but thats not the game i choose at all!
