Where I belong

I never really knew if I would ever be wanted
Only because my mother dropped me off at a place that looked haunted

I know my mother left me
But a great mother she was as much as she could be

My mama was always being mean
So we made sure her house was always clean

NOW I’M STARTING TO SEE. . .

The stress I’ve been through
I can’t believe after all this time I didn’t have a clue

I felt like cutting myself would help me find the key
It was because I miss the love and care my mama gave me

I was a spoiled child who never needed friends
And when my mama left me I lost my soul within

I was only four years old
When my mother said to me “justine maJustine always love you now you be bold”

It was her only change to fix up her life
She was gonna stop taking drugs so she could be a good mother and wife

She told me she’ll be back in a couple of years
And said Justine baby have no fear

I laughed and said okay
And told her to come see me the next day

So after years and years went by
My mama never came so at might I cried

My mama has me living with a women I barley knew
This women tried to open my heart but I wasn’t letting her through

I felt like she was tryna take my mom place
Because she taught me how to tie my shoe lace

I still haven’t seen my mother since I was four
But it seems like my love form her has grown more and more

So I don’t have to cry myself to sleep
Because the dreams I had about my mother because very deep

Now I know the real place where I belong
Is to be with my birth mother Gladis Jones
