I'll Just Shut Up

When you were gone, so much had happened
I don’t even know where to begin this yappin’
I sat long hours wondering why you’d gone
Why you couldn’t just stay and be my mom
Feeling I never had one my whole life
Cuts me open like a sharp knife
So I’ll spill my blood onto this page
Hoping it will free me from this cage

You’ve wanted to know my feelings for so long
So here’s your chance, I’ll explain to you, Mom
I was too young to know right from wrong
I didn’t know how to dance to life’s song
I stumbled and fell with no one to pull me up
See I know I should see a half full cup
But these aches and pains just don’t give up
So what can I say? I’ll just shut up
