The mother in me wants to scream
The mother in me wants to cry
The mother in me sighs and knows,
"There but by the grace of God go I"
The mother in me is hurt
The mother in me is scared for all the sons and daughters who wear hoodies on their heads
The mother in me asks why
The mother in me prays
The mother in me hopes that this pain will go away,
For another mother who lost her child on that fateful day
The mother in me won't stop until justice is won
The mother in me, is a mother like you
Only difference is we live by different rules,
Because you say my child does not count,
nor hers too
nor hers too
Simply because our color is a different hue
