Dear Mama,
I ran yesterday
Dear Mama,
You hurt me yesterday
I think you might know it
But I don't think you know how bad
Dear Mama,
I never thought you'd try to kill me
I'm glad you tried though
Atleast I know I'm strong
And I know I'll make it
Dear Mama,
You know it's sad how we got to this point
You wanna know how we did?
I'll tell you
It started when my world fell apart
I lost the guy who I leaned on for two years
He literally kept me together
I started becoming confused and lost
I could no longer sit at home
Everything reminded me of him
Which just reminded me of pain
Dear Mama,
I tried to ask you if I could go out
You always told me "no, you're grounded"
Now see if I wasn't in so much pain
Then maybe I would have listened
But I know what I need and I needed out
So that's what I did without any doubts
Dear Mama,
Then you took $300 away from me
Without any regret
Telling me it was owed to you
But did you forget
How I've tried to help you out
How I've tried to be there
I know you helped me too
But the least you can do is let me grow
Dear Mama,
I'm not your little girl anymore
I'm not the little girl who took all the abuse
You seem to forget
You helped me become a fighter
Helped me to say what I was thinking
And now I fight back
Everytime you attack
From the day I found you stole
I never trusted you
Or any of your words
I tried many times to obey your rules
Really I have tried
But sometimes I just need to say something
So then I talk all night
Or then I write messages
Sometimes, life gets so hard
You have to break some rules
Dear Mama,
You say we don't care
You say we're don't treat you fair
Now that I told you everything you wanted to hear
You attacked me
You tried to kill me
Dear Mama,
I didn't mean no pain
Dear Mama,
I don't want to play this game
I'm tired of the fighting
But you won't understand
I really do try
Just things never work our right
Dear Mama,
I love you so
And even with this mark on my throat
And with every gulp I hurt
I forgive you in some way
But things will never be the same
Dear Mama,
You had me crying hard
To think I care so much about you
'Cause you had always been there
Then you go and hurt me
Just seems not fair
Dear Mama,
I don't know what to do
I try to make everyone happy you see
Try to make you happy with me
I know I failed and I'm sorry I did
But please mama believe me
I tried I really did
Dear Mama,
I love you
Really I do
You won't ever understand how much that's true
