She

My mother IS my hero

My mother was my hero

Don't worry, she's alive 

I say was, not is

because I know, she's really dead inside.

Her smile has lost its glimmer

Her voice has lost its shine

Her hugs have lost their warmth

She is running out of time.

but I'll never give up

She is a bright light in me

I love her with all my heart

I want the world to see.

My mom is a superhero

She has saved me many times

from her mistakes and my own

and committing several crimes.

Though life was hard, 

she kept on trucking

and life gave lemons

to keep on sucking.

Three kids, two jobs,

and night school to boot

My mom was a rockstar

and everyone knew it.

Again with the was,

because I know the truth

That she's miserable always

and there's nothing we can do.

Her happiness must come from within

and there's nothing that can break that skin.

She'll come back to us one day, 

I know it is true

With family that loves her, 

the way that we do.

Thank you, I truly do and I'd be lost without her.
