Window of Hope (Mum's Poem)
She said
Said it's dark outside my window
Pain breaking through
Fear no existence and I blame you
Fear no identity
No name, who am I
Smile to the public
But we all know that's a lie
I'm feeling indifferent
They calling me different
Wild thoughts be tripping
This loud pack ain't hitting
These memories I'm missing
The view look so different
Lost minds are spinning
But Ma there's no sinking
Don't know who that's about
Trust me Ma I hear you
Wrote that when you were my age
Scary how I feel the same too
Soon after became a mum
Pain inside got passed along
Hold your head up high
Even when it got long
Two roles was hard
But you soldiered on
Avoiding therapy
Ca talking gets all long
So I vent in the booth
Convert the pain to a song
I'm used to goodbyes
Not always right, I'm hardly wrong
She said
Said this life I'm living
Is a vicious circle
Turn me into a fiend
Guess I am my only rival
Wonder why the world so spiteful
To people with good hearts
Why humans can't fly
Wonder will my kids take the right path
Trust Ma, if it was up to me
We'd fly to paradise
Trust ma, if it was up to me
Wouldn't work these crazy nights
Trust ma, if it was up to me
I'd give you all my time
Time is of the essence
One day, you'll live your best life
Feeling indifferent
They calling me different
This loud pack ain't hitting
This loud pack ain't hitting
The memories I'm missing
The view look so different
Our minds are spinning
But Ma there's no sinking
We have to keep living
Success, that's a given
Stack P, we'll be winning
This life's still a mission
Some days feel like prison
Doesn't end when you have kids
Open the next chapter
While you watch our life
You miss
Gotta give you credit
Gotta keep you nice and sweet
Wish you'd find a real man
Who would sweep you of your feet
Wish you ain't have to work
Three jobs just to feed
And in the nicest way
I wish you'd listen when we speak
I'm not that young dumb rebel
As surprising as gifts can be
And when I find my niche
You gon' be so proud of me
But Mama just please
Best believe
Open that window
And set your damn self free
Feeling indifferent
They calling me different
This loud pack ain't hitting
This loud pack ain't hitting
Said it's dark outside my window
Pain breaking through
Fear no existence and I blame you
Fear no identity
No name, who am I
Smile to the public
But we all know that's a lie
I'm feeling indifferent
They calling me different
Wild thoughts be tripping
This loud pack ain't hitting
These memories I'm missing
The view look so different
Lost minds are spinning
But Ma there's no sinking
Don't know who that's about
Trust me Ma I hear you
