Her pain still lives in my vein

With the blood that gave me a name

I no longer use

Mother, where were you

What happened to make you choose

The life of drugs and abuse

Over the safety of my body being used

I always thought it was because we weren’t enough for you

But the truth is, you were not enough for us

Betrayal mixed with years of broken trust

Built my foundation brave and tough, heartbroken enough

To surrender and transform that pain into love
