The Intro

I can relate to the rejection every time,

She was released, She’d relapsed.

I couldn’t create a constant connection,

Her love for me wasn’t stronger.

Than crack I pleaded patiently,

Hoping for a pleasant pledge.

But all I got was lies,

Pain and excuses instead.

The Script

Her mom came in and she began to weep

She wept because she hadn’t seen her mom in weeks

She turned to her mom and began to speak

Her tears were heavy and her voice was weak

"Mommy, why are you a fiend? Why don’t you leave? Why don’t you love us and give us what we need? Why did you have me if you didn’t plan to be there?
