I WRITE FOR YOU MAMA
Walk north, south, east, west
She’s the only woman to hold your waist
Who always sees in you the best
When others say you are a waste
In the whole world, a goddess you are
Lighting my path and dressing my wounds
The only person who understands my tears
You are the star that shine my day and night
I write for you, mama; always be my guest
Welcome into my life with no request
Let the love flow like milk from your breast
With you by my side, I say I’m blessed
You swallowed insult to protect me
A wall that shielded my shame from the world
You ingested toxic society and took blame
To me you are always an icon and a pure reflection
Thank you for holding me up when you were in pain
Thank you for raising me up with no bargain
Thank you for listening whenever I would complain
You are great to be now and then; I can’t explain
Every day you felt like giving up
Prayer was the weapon that held you firm
You starved to see me have something to bite
I wish I had it all to spoil your face with laughter and joy.
