Mothers mistake
Mother's mistake
She didn't get a remake
Had me
Wasn't much to see
Kinda slow
So many things I wanted to know
Places I wanted to go
Put aside
Always cried
I was grown
No love shown
Tried to do good
But was always misunderstood
Never had a thing
Happiness it could never bring
Me myself and I
Times I have wanted to die
I wish I could fly
Lost inside
So I hide
Darkness closes in
I cannot win
I fight
For the light
Depression
Don't need a Dr session
Need people true
But they make me blue
Hate life
And it's strife
But I'm here
So much fear
No one ever near
Alone am I
Living under the open sky
To belong
I so long
To late
This is my fate
Don't care
Cause I don't dare
The sun bakes me a medium rare
The rain
Brings pain
The cold
Makes me old
Life
The strife
All I see
I long to be free
But I'm stuck being me
Mother's mistake
Love is fake
Wish I was real
The pain I feel
Drives me down
Kicking hard not to drown
I stay afloat
Too many holes drilled in my boat
At the end of my road
Hard to carry my load
Mind if I sit here awhile
Enjoy your smile
No where left to go
I know
It is all on me
What I see
Nothing is at the end
A lifetime I did spend
Searching for who I was meant to be
But I'm just me
Mothers mistake
Sitting by a lake
Bad decisions I always make
Lead me here
This loneliness I fear
I wish I was wanted
But my life is haunted
Dreams and desires
Lost in the burning fires
Of my heart
As life falls apart
I wish I may
Find the right words to say
I wish I might
Win this fight
And find the light
And be me
The man I wish to be
