Mom

Mom please don't leave me behind because
without you I will not find
what beauty can unwind
you have given me great gifts
of many different measures
sometimes I take them for granted
and forget that they are treasures
I don't want to mess up to
where you're not there
then when I say "Mom" I'm only talking to air
Sometimes I really feel like I blew it
but I always hope we can
work through it
But I know that won't always be an option
I mean you could put me up for adoption
But I don't think that anyone would want me
And thats something I see
you're the only one and I still don't know why
But I do know when I think about you
I can't help but cry
I don't want to always be a waste
It's a big world out there and
I want a little taste
But mom without you,
I wouldent be able to hold this knife
and mom, without you
I woulden't have this waste of a life.
