Mama


Life was never easy 

With a daughter like me 

I used to smile everyday

Now, I just feel defeat 

I was scared and alone 

Something was wrong with me 

I didn't feel like I should stay in this world 

I was a monster 

But

You did not believe I was what I thought I was 

You had faith in me 

At times, we fought and did not want to speak 

Yet, you loved me 

I loved you 

We love each other and through time 

You lift me up

You heard me out

You held me as I cried 

So I wish you knew that sometimes I think

I don't deserve a mom like you 

But

I know I do and that you pushed me here

Thank you alot for everything mama

Te quiero de verda
