Can You Hear Me Crying?

Came into the world, a healthy baby girl

Smooth skin, kinky hair, brown eyed beauty

Encompassed by my mothers love

Can you hear me crying?

Going to pre-school, eager to learn

Standing in the bus line, awaiting my turn

Momma was worried, I got on the wrong bus

Can you hear me crying?

Middle school, I obviously wasn’t popular

Dark skin, wore glasses, tallest girl out there

Getting picked on & bullied, those days were horrifying

Can you hear me crying?

High School, I played sports

Lost games, lost friends, went through things of all sorts

Momma was there FRONT & CENTER, no denying

But you...Can you hear me crying?

College came and went

Had 2 beautiful babies, who cherish all the time MawMaw has spent

Playing with them, and loving them

Giving them all the love grandparents should be supplying

Can you still not hear me crying?

You missed all of this, and anything more to come

Because Momma was ALWAYS there

But you...you placed me last against EVERYONE

I hope you get what I’m implying

I bet you wish you heard me crying.
