Longing for his mother...

Another day of school and therapy
Coming back to a place called "home"
He's surrounded by nine other guys
All pulled from their families, they feel alone

This is the life of a group home
Being pulled from friends and family
Placed into a house full of guys
Falling asleep at night feeling empty

But today is different, he is excited
He finally passed his therapy class
Walks in and checks the phone
His mom called, he hits redial fast

"Mom, you are going to be so proud of me
I was told today that I have an apartment
And I finally passed my therapy class"
Filled with excitement, he waits for his moms consent

But as the conversation continues
You can hear the hurt in his tone
His mother doesn't even compliment him
She totally ignores him on the phone

"Mom, why don't you love me,
I just want you to be proud of me
You are the reason why I am here
This is not how my life should be"

With tears in his eyes,
He throws the phone against the wall
"I want nothing to do with her,
And I hope she never decides to call"
