Stories from a Momma Bear #2

Today was a most
interesting day
Tired of the
passive aggressive
way

Folks wanna pretend
or continue to hide
the truth of the ugly
they're keeping inside

i can tell story after story
but people will choose
to believe what they want
to refuse to accept
the truth they don't know
but we keep tryin to tell
damn it's getting old

cuz i remember
the day
my son came home to ask
do i have an extra muscle
is that what makes me fast?

or came running home
i can't play outside
the neighbor said n****
with the hard ER

or a phone call came
your son was in a fight
and he was to blame
but then i find out
that "that word"
was tossed about
and he's just supposed to take it?
naw--knock him the hell out

turn the other cheek
place nice would you please
understand and have patience
i mean, where's your humanity
that is all well and fine
but i need you to see
that some days i can't
and some days i won't
and some days
are days
when i'm just holding on
trying not to scream
and fully explode




That's what i got today.
