“Mama mama, mentor”

Can see the look in her eyes
As she stares at me in adoration
Brings tears to my eyes how I inspire
Concentrating on my reflection
Lingering dark cloud that’s pressing
A issue I have inside, not against you.
How could I inspire anyone?
All these flaws, scars, facades, and masks
Do anything in the world to return to that innocence
Not a care in the world about trivial things the world brings now
Looked up to her, now you look up to me
And it’s breaking me down..
Always tell you be confident in yourself
But I don’t wear that crown
Still have rags of baggage sewn over my heart
Wondering why love can’t seem to find where to start
Would hate for you to feel this way!
So I sing you sweet lullabies of self-love, Independence and strength
Hoping your love for yourself
Will inspire me to do the same
Different age yet walking the same plane
Strutting in our truth
So to find mine Im helping you
