My Life

When you look at my life you don't see what I see
When you look at my life it is just that My Life
My Life
My Life
My Life

I am the mother, the single parent
Paving the way for another woman to rise up
I am the divorced wife of things many can only read in books and wonder if it's true
Don't judge me because you haven't walked in my shoes
I am the lover the nurturer the provider
 
When you look at my life you don't see what I see
When you look at my life it is just that My Life
My Life
My Life
My Life

Been down the road of being abused
Name slander, called things other than a precious pearl or gem
Been the one to hold it down with no questions asked
Call it what you want but it is what it is my life

When you look at my life you don't see what I see
When you look at my life it is just that My Life
My Life
My Life
My Life

Promises I may have made
Promises that may have been broken
Always trying to aim to please and not tease
Putting oneself last instead of first

When you look at my life you don't see what I see
When you look at my life it is just that My Life
My Life
My Life
My Life

Mother always there precious jewel in herself
Never let her daughters go with out knowing what life's about
Daddy not always there, hustler by nature, mind taken by the elements put on this world we call earth
Never just mommy baby and daddies maybe, made from what we call love
Never know how important it was to have a relationship with Daddy till I became a woman of my own

When you look at my life you don't see what I see
When you look at my life it is just that My Life
My Life
My Life
My Life

At points in life we yearn for more
Yearn for things that are sometimes are of our control
Wanting for things sometimes we are not meant to have
But who am I to say what we should have or want for that matter

When you look at my life you don't see what I see
When you look at my life it is just that My Life
My Life
My Life
My Life

My life is a story to tell, verses that still will unfold in times air
My life is not your book to rewrite or wonder about the what ifs
My life means something to me if not anyone else
My life still continues, still wants love, still wants marriage, happiness, serenity
My life is still evolving what more can I say

It's my life
