Where were you ma when I needed u most?


At age three when your friend hurt me night after night.
Leaving me with fear and a lifetime of sleepless nights.
I couldn't tell you because of all your abusive fights.
Where were you ma when I needed you most?

At age 8 when your girlfriend hurt my arm.
The many before and after when they did me harm.
Where were you ma when I needed you most?

At age 12 my father destroyed me.
Looking me in my face and disowning me.
Where were you ma when I needed you most?

My teen years were spent by myself with no mother.
You seemed to forget you had another daughter.
Where were you ma when I needed you most?

As a young mom needing advice.
I was feeling like I couldn't breathe and my lungs were in a vice.
Abuse after abuse this was my husband's price.
Where were you ma when I needed you most?

Today I see you after all these years and I try to need you.
I try to be there.
I try to smile for you through all the despair.
It's just hard Mom when the question will always remain.
Where were you ma when I needed you the most?
