Momma

You've always been there to comfort me and hold me

I use to love it, but that was the old me

Through trial and error, yeah you were there

but you couldn't even help me, you would just sit and stare.

Out all night, no study time - nothing but trouble

If only I could take it all back, I'm starting to see double.

 

My path is so dark and so narrow,

sometimes all I think I need is a bow and arrow.

But that's where I am wrong, this war is too much

I need something bigger, it's too far to touch.

 

I weep when you weep, I smile when you smile

My emotions take the best of me, sometimes I just need awhile.

I'll never forget that day.

I'm so tormented by what I saw, my mind is scarred, i just keep thinking as you lay

How could you get here, how did you let it go this far

And then I remember, it always started with a bar.

 

I want you to know I love you dearly but this time is so crucial

You see, I had everything made for me and I was going somewhere
But my emotions got the best of me and now I'm nowhere

Time is something we never get back, money comes and goes

Time is so valuable, it's sad, nobody knows.

This is my chance to say momma,

I'm living this life for me, I have nobody to depend on, I can't even take a knee.

Please forgive me, I don't mean to shun you

But your life choices are making me shrew.

I love you momma, I always will

At last, i just need to feel.

i know what it feels like when you love someone, but don't have the connection or relationship that is healthy

i been there with my family, i'm a lone warrior, but i stand up when i fall
