From Me

Take it from one who knows

Take it from one who’s seen

Take it from one who’s grown, take it

From me, from me, from me, from me, from me


8 years old

Fixing her stockings ‘for mama got home

Miscalculated, blade took a hit to her fate

Thicker than water

Tears rolling down to her shoulder

Guilt and shame

Vicious cycle to refrain

Grew up fast

To smoking half a pack

Nowhere to fall back


Take it from one who knows

Take it from one who’s seen

Take it from one who’s grown, take it

From me, from me, from me, from me, from me

Mother of two

No one cares like you do

How many more

Trips on trips to the grocery store

Two lives you wish you had

Spare hands, how many hats

Time and time again

Stuck in line in the fast lane

Worries made her ill

No way to weather the guilt

But let the clock tick


Take it from one who knows

Take it from one who’s seen

Take it from one who’s grown, take it

From me, from me, from me, from me, from me

Might be late to the party

But I been breaking rules since elementary

Dreaming something new with the old

A recycled type of gold

Generations of example

Watching over me

Helping me break free

Take it from one who knows

Take it from one who’s seen

Take it from one who’s grown, take it

From me, from me, from me, from me, from me
