My mother was always trying to help I know she was, but I was a
teenager
I wanted to be independent I thought I could do everything on my own
that is, until I tried to be alone it wasn’t as easy as I thought
I took some time out to figure out my life once I thought I had it all
figured out
I wanted to come back, back to my mother, I was hoping she’d let me back
back into her life back into her heart, it’s not that I didn’t care
I was just trying to be big, and do it on my own
I was always getting into trouble, I thought I was cool
but then I sat back and realized what I had, I had a mother and a family
that cared
once I met someone who didn’t,
I then realized how painful and hard it is growing up without a family that
cared
I couldn’t in a million years imagine his pain
I knew then I didn’t want my family and especially not my mother to stop
caring
and that’s what I thought they’d do
because they tried so hard to love me and I knew I wasn’t making it any
easier
when I had tried to be on my own, in the big, bad world
I learned that you can’t trust anyone except your family and your true
friends
so I knew the one person I could trust most was my mother
so now I want to start a new life, and this time live it right
