Mama
I haven't been the best
Though I was born peculiar
Always settled for less
When all the best
Was all you knew and
All you taught me too
All the struggle had brought you through
All I did was imagine
So I never really knew but

I see clearer now
And that was hard to do
For a long time,
Had a young mindset
A really toddler view
But now I'm reeling towards you
Maybe it's the circumstance
Perhaps these bigger shoes
Maybe it's just that time my CPU
Chose to compute

I finally understand
Yes, it's that pudding proof
The proof is in pudding
And I'm glad I've tasted too
The taste of truth
Freezing every tooth
So I bite
With caution
Some things are hard to chew
And I do eat them often
The thoughts that turn to food
And when I feel I'm falling
I focus my thoughts on you

You can be anything, boy, you just have to choose
So making mama proud
Was following all my pursuits
And so she worked hard
So I could have that option too

She knew those struggle things
She knew it's hard to dream
When you're stuck in the thick of things
Life can be hard to subdue

So she paid her dues
And she braved the waves and
Sometimes she was super glue
Even though she was hurting too

And alot of moms
Are superhuman
But only one you
And some can bench press the sky
Or fly you to the moon
While some could not say goodbye
Though were determined to
And those that never really tried
Are probably a few
But alot of times we skip the why
And judge by what they do
Forget we're broken too
And all the cracks are different
Yet act like the pressure isn't
Entrapped, by sour feelings
Think facts, equal opinions
We match, to situations
We view, in one angle
Redrew, to fit the panels
Of sense
And sense sometimes
Can offend
When reason
Hits a sharp bend
And reasonably
Veers off
From reason
Peels it's skin off
And runs naked
We can't take it
Coz there's no relation,

Until we're moms too
