Big Girl Now


We are human
I understand you make mistakes
But the bullshit that you pull is only logical in your corrupt twisted mind
Strained to understand your reality
You said to me that things are changing
You said that I have more freedom
That I'll have more free-will now
That I've become a big girl now
That I am a woman now
I am a woman now
But you are the reason I'm afraid of being a woman
My Mom is very beautiful
Kindness and patience run through her veins
But the pain you cause her is like oxygenating her blood with frustration and suffering that tears through her beauty
She is a mother and a father of 4
She has to do what she needs to do
What her children need her to do
What you want her to do
What you need her to do
What you need to do
What you have to do
What you are trying to do
And at the end of the day, my mom is a woman
A woman who you made into a slave that you say is a big girl now,
you say she has freedom now, has free-will now
But now I know that freedom and free-will will never be free.
