My Mom


My mom is my biggest inspiration.

She's been to hell and back again and again.

Following the systematic lifestyle that she was "destined".

Her support is unfaltering, Her love is unwavering.

 

She got married at a young age,

Had a kid with a low paying wage.

She doesn't know how to turn the next page.

I think that she feels she is locked in a cage.

 

She inspires me to do better every single day.

She has given me the resources to go a better way.

I plan to get myself a better job, a better pay.

She gave me the opportunity to know exactly what to say.

 

My mom inspires me to do my absolute best in everything I can.

My mom inspires me to be the person better than any other man.
