What does momma really know?


Momma knows the son she raised but dosent know how much pressure is on him to make somthing of himself so his parents stuggles and tears can finally be worth it

 

Momma knows he is a good person but dosent know the how hard it was walking through the halls 6th grade when everyone was calling you "Beaner" 

 

Momma knows that he has a bright future but doesnt know how late he stay up wondering if the choices he makes or effort he puts in are even gonna get you results and have just wasted time and effort 

 

Momma knows he dosent do drugs like every other teen but dosent know how hard its been for him since his girl left him for someone else leaving him feeling like he brings no value to anything and everything people say to him is fake 

 

Momma dosent know what he wont let her see
