That Mentor you Mentioned
I was born in '93
Momma says you stared at me
Never made a move to pick me up
You afraid of your newborn pup
You knew why the sky was blue
But didnt know I was afraid of you
Payed for horse lessons, and for camps
But it seemed you didnt like the Daddy Daughter Dance
You got me tutors in every course
But to get you to chat with me I'd have to use force
And I am so honored, because you knew I was smart
But you didnt know I had a broken heart
All the brains and books, came naturally
But knowing my own worth was atrophied
I chased boys instead of good grades
I had rebellious tantrums and displays
And as I got older still
I became less intuned with what I feel
I only knew function Ctrl + V
I had no idea what was wrong with me
I though you failed at something even dumb daddies can do
It would be years before I had the tools
That mentor you mentioned, he is him all the way
No one has helped me as much to this day
People are people and though it is rough
Im so smart I know what he did was enough
Im so smart I know what he did was his love
