I pen this witness to my pain, suffering over gain I mean I know my own name but couldn't find my own lane Nothing was enough to make me have drive or feel alive Each time the Lord wanted me to survive, he opened my womb inside I screamed out to the heavens like, God just let me die He gave me little Elijah, first time my wings fly I dreamt his existence before he was even alive Before his first breath, my first little death We all die a little as mothers We put ourselves last before others We put our kids dreams up in the air like little ribbons in the sky And every little kiddie gets to fly While mommy gets new anchors for her ankles to survive Nobody told me, said it would be easy I know these scars won't leave me I know God gave me you just to keep me Just to keep me breathing and believing I never would have recovered The pain it had me smothered A love like this I'll never find another God knew what I needed He had me covered A blessing in disguise from my lover A new life as somebody's mother I resist the urge to lean into impatience Felt like a setback till I finally saw your faces Selfishness cause I'm afraid of making more mistakes Cause life keep throwing learning curves and I keep missing bases I ignored the basics and red flags were shiny new toys To conquer mountains I was never meant to face it Crazy how we play ourselves trying to change our ways It's lazy how we settle for the easy route rather than heal our aches And healing felt like punishment for what I already endured And I didn't want to pass down the fear of being unsure So I buckled up and told myself to seek whats pure For my little girl and certainly for my little boy Cause who gone break generational curses if I agree with my demons And then turn around and tell my son to aim for achievements And if age, sex, and location's why I didn't go for my goals How I'ma look at my daughter with all these characters holes Nobody told me Said it would be easy I know these scars won't leave me I know God gave me you just to keep me Just to keep me breathing and believing Breathing and believing
