Mom
Traci Mercado 1977 (PA)
I miss you today mom, he was mean again.
Can I go out and play mom? I really need a friend.
I look around the room mom, but I can not find you there.
You left me alone to face my doom mom, and really it is not fair.
I have no one to turn to mom, please come back and help me out.
In this world I am so lost here mom, just wondering all around.
No one understands me mom, not the way you did.
I always live in fear here mom, I'm still that nervous little kid.
I have no hope left here mom, there is nothing left I can do.
I promise I will get my mind clear mom, and finally make my way home to you.
