FORGIVE ME MOTHER


I look through your blood coated eyes All I see are dark heavy painful ties I see the groans of a mother who's bent on overcoming the "women are weaker vessels" cliche I see the struggles of a mother to unlock the gates of a better and enabling niche Forgive me mother if it looks like I'm leaving the track Forgive me if I can't stay mild and let them trample on you like a piece of trash I will walk through the thorny bushes and tread the darkest valley of life just to behold your lovely smiles I will crawl through the hottest lake of fire and push down the gigantic walls of fear just to see shining sparks on your eyes Forgive me if I can't sit and watch the rushing flow of your tears Forgive me if I can't swallow my words and see you beclouded in fears Just....forgive me for this mad love This craziness I'm so engulfed
