A Moment To Myself
September 5th, 1997
The most perfect mistake was born
Moments like this I usually let myself breathe
But to me it seems there's more going on than just in my dreams
So I step aside entering my prime
My adolescence went by
Decided to go on
And didn't even stop to say hi
And I know growing up
Is part of my living experience
But what's an experience, If you feel like you weren't even truly living in it
I've downgraded my confidence all the way to the bare minimum
Just to be nobody, be pushed around
The kids were pinning me down to the ground
Saying he a punk bitch
I tried to be nice to people who needed it
Because I wanted to change myself around
Parenting is the first step for us to become something greater
So to my mother I thank her
Pray for her like my lord and savior
She was working at Publix then Burger King for the night shift
Home alone, empty efficiency
Looked outside to see the sky lit
Reminded me of precious diamonds from Sierra Leone
Not the life that I chose but it goes on
Remind myself how far I have come
I shouldn't have made it past age 21
I felt invisible and truly thought the world would be better if I was gone
Somber sunset that early morning
360 camera view scoping
Of my lifeless body hung in my new home down in Willow Grove
4 high school yearbooks in my drawer for my memories
Tough time for me and my family but nostalgia gets the best of me
Mixed signals of what the universe was sending me
I was caught between walking around in a soulless body or finally throwing confetti
To keep it short and sweet
I'm just saying the thoughts that I think
Though it was a message for you
I'm starting to believe it was more for me
Even though I haven't seen you in forever
Just know our time together is one thing I will remember
But now is our time to get better
But I want you to see where I'm at
The most perfect mistake was born
Moments like this I usually let myself breathe
But to me it seems there's more going on than just in my dreams
So I step aside entering my prime
My adolescence went by
Decided to go on
And didn't even stop to say hi
And I know growing up
Is part of my living experience
But what's an experience, If you feel like you weren't even truly living in it
I've downgraded my confidence all the way to the bare minimum
Just to be nobody, be pushed around
The kids were pinning me down to the ground
Saying he a punk bitch
