They call me Mary, crazy Mary I let them, though it’s not my name They smirk with their knowing smiles shake their heads at my life’s shame I cackle wickedly just to give them a show as I let them think I don’t care They use me, but I get what I need life is hard, who said it was fair? They don’t stay long enough to know the woman’s heart I keep hidden from view I doubt they’d understand anyway sitting high and mighty in Sunday’s pew I’ve sinned and paid the price you see left the family I raised on my own I got tired of seeing their hungry faces and knew they’d be better alone I heard some family took them in they get love and three good meals a day sleep in beds with colored sheets and whisper my name each time they pray So look at me out of the corner of your eye shake your head in misplaced pride but don’t ever think you know my life until you curl up in my darkness to hide. |

I do love this... can't help but feel for those kids though... Maybe that is just still the place I'm at in life, though...  Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |
