I wrote this one back in 88 I think it was. It was after my mother and I moved back here from Chicago and my brother was allowed to stay behind in the house to graduate with his class. But then something happened causing my mother to have to go back to Chicago to get him. This was written to reflect what I thought he felt.
On My Own
Feeling stranded, left all alone
Did she abandon her heart and soul
She left me here to struggle,
to struggle on my own
Why'd she leave me all alone
come back, I'm drowning
this large world is too big
All I eat are brownies
I'm skinny as a twig
