Mother

Can't afford to live my life
I'm scared of living or to die
The thought of what it would be like
As the years seem to go bye-bye

I'd love to bring your love into the world
But it's not up to me if they'd be wanted
If they'd be loved, if they'd be even yours

And how I wish I could take back my words
Of pain and of hurt
It's more than just creating reflection
It's giving up what you were

Only noticed as I grew that we're the same
You see, we do everything in mirror
Yet, I do not even know who looks back

I'd love to bring your love into the world
But it's not up to me if they'd be wanted
If they'd be loved, if they'd be even yours

How I wish I could take back my words
Of pain and of hurt
It's more than just creating reflection
It's giving up what you were
When life comes back around to your own choice
That's when you hear the noise
