Mothers Medicine 3

TRUTH: YOU BECOME YOUR MOTHER, OR YOU DON'T.


33 years old and she's battleing the internal fight

all these years 

and he wasn't even the name on the paper

typed in black and white

she saw a different name

thinking nothing would change

and now she's been on her own

18 and life to go

a birth certificate means nothing

when neither step up to show

the way a man should treat a lady

thanking God she doesn't have to raise a baby

because no name on a paper could change 

the lie she'd lived in

her entire life

continuing to this day.

Her mother's not around,

she stays with the next man

who can hold her down

so she doesn't have to deal

with a life from a life from her daughter

she thought she had to conceal.

A dose of her mother's medicine

leads down a very lonely road in

wishing she knew

how to mend their relationship

and finally have some peace inside.
