I am a mother
to four beautiful children
I always put them first
I am not my disease

I am hardworking
One job at a time just isn’t enough
I let nothing slow me down
I am not my disease

I am goofy
I like attention
and I do what it takes to get it
I am not my disease

I am high-spirited
I walk with my family and friends by my side
who love me because,
I am not my disease

I am faithful
With God’s love I will never be powerless
He alone is my reassurance that
I am not my disease

I am strong
I will never lose sight of who I am
I may have this disease but,
I am not my disease

From the day I was born
You have been my mother
I knew there was a reason
That God paired us together

Now that I'm older
I can start to see why
You have been there to lend me a shoulder
And pick me up when all I can do is cry

Without you,
Who would be there to speak for me?
When I'm shy and can't say my mind
You step in saving me

Unconditional love
Is all you've ever given me
A mother-daughter bond
That just can't be beat

I love you with all of my heart
Redamancy is my gift to you
You've been with me from the start
It's me and you, tried and true

They say kryptonite is superman’s weakness
but mine must be you
because you leave me speechless
sweetness
is all you've ever given me
sleepless
is all I’ve ever been since we
became friends
but now I feel like our friendship needs a cleanse
expectations
I guess mine were too high
its understandable though
it just wasn't our time
I got upset
I only wanted to forget
what we had
but why spend my days being mad?
I cant make this your fault
I locked my heart up in a vault
my mind keeps racing
look at me I’m spacing
I wonder if this would be different
if id have left it alone
or if we had went for it
everyone's always saying
you two'd look cute together
but it only hurts me more
in my head its like the first world war
but I think i'm losing
you're my best friend
I have to respect that
its just going to be hard
since my heart is somewhat scarred
do you understand though?
Why im starting to let go
really my hearts just incapacitated
because ive been captivated
by your sweet looks and charm
you make me so infatuated
I hope she makes you happy
thats all I want for you
im sure ill find someone too
eventually
now you know what im undergoing
I just hope our friendship can keep on flowing

2 years old
Daddy's leaving
Mommy says we're better off without him
He can't hurt us anymore
I owe it all to you mom

5 years old
Getting on the bus
Excited to start school
Mom let me wear what I wanted
I made friends just being who I am
I owe it all to you mom

10 years old
Mom made me play softball
I didn't want to
I didn't know it would be my favorite sport
I owe it all to you mom

15 years old
Mom is really sick
Is she dying?
I better be strong, for her
I owe it all to you mom

17 years old
I got accepted to college
It's a private school
Only the best get in
I owe it all to you mom

Everything that I am
And everything that I will be
I know I'll be
a strong, smart, and successful woman and...
I owe it all to you mom

Times change
People leave
But you and me
We are meant to be

Promise me forever
I'll give you my all
I'll never stop loving you
Just don't break my heart

I do not see,
If you want the truth
The benefits
Of endangering my youth

You think it's fun
Like some little game
I think it's dumb
What could you possibly have to gain?

Kids my age
Should be able to have a good time
Without the help
Of a glass of wine

You drink and smoke
And party all night
While I stay at home
And do what I believe is right

What would happen, 
If you were to hurt someone else?
Someone healthy and loved
Someone doing the right thing
Six beers in
I'm not even drunk
Give me my keys 
It'll be alright
Until you wake up
In a hospital bed 
The only thing being said 
are dozens of questions
Was this manslaughter? Did she do it on purpose? 
This is your fault you know 
You shouldn't have been driving 
You're under aged you know
You shouldn't have been drinking 
You're lying there in pain 
The other in a morgue
You caused her family more pain in their hearts 
Than you feel on your body 
The guilt will live with you forever 
Never being able to say you're sorry
Always the one to blame
This is your fault
What was there to gain? 
A hangover? 
"Fun" times 
that you need a camera to remember? 
What if role were reversed
And it was you doing the right thing 
What if it were you being buried? 
And Your family the ones crying at YOUR grave 
You didn't ask for this
But you did 
You know drinking has consequences 
Yet you still decided to do it
Was it worth it?
