My Mama's Tears.


They running like the stole something
Something from your heart, your soul,
Running wild, frantic, outta control
I know the pain you feel because your eyes transmit it to my heart
A problem here, bullshit there, I don't know where to start.
You telling me "son stay in school, don't give up you're too smart!"
But when you're on the phone yelling at those assholes I too want to fall apart.
Act a fool knock back a drink with some pills, but I chill.
You deserve better than the hand you were dealt.
One car for five people! Man fuck a seatbelt!
I been out the window!
Leaping to bring you greater things because I know you're working just as hard as anyone I know.
Still shit piles on like last years snow!
Rise like dough, shine like crystals.
To knock down the barrier of strife and struggle your my missile.
Daddy died, mama cried.
Mama kept at it, if the women in the neighborhood gossiping your mama LIED!
My blessing, my blueprint, my backbone, my beautiful
Mama, queen, goddess, any other nouns are not suitable.

I love this Foster, and I love you. I hope you read this to her. sounds like you are feeling just as much pain as she.. life is so big but short. take the time to share your happier with her in hopes to cheer her up. I'd hate to see you depressed one day cause of such a great woman. Look what she's done for you so far. well.....dont look for short cuts in life to peace, just let her know you are there for her. Love is all that matters in this world.
