What I Wasn't Taught

"What I Wasn't Taught"
(1/11/03 - 19 years old)

My mother never taught me
To love the me I am.
She had never taught me
To say to me "I can!"

My mother never taught me
That I am good enough.
She had never taught me
That it's okay when life is rough.

My mother never taught me
The things I said up there.
Or, maybe she had taught me
... but I just didn't hear!
