Mama, this is your black sheep In this life that you have given me There is sadness and misery I can hear you whispering prayers for me But I can also see you very clearly Deeply regretting giving birth to me Mother, this is your wayward baby I’m sorry that you can’t understand me The state of my hair or the clothes I wear The fact that I’m never really there “Always living life without care” you said But I swear I’m better off elsewhere Birth giver, this is your son of a gun Your boyfriend has always made me feel Unwelcome and emotionally numb I left home so you don’t have to sleep alone But since then my heart has turned to stone And my mommy issues are starting to show

Mommy Issues
Mama, this is your black sheep In this life that you have given me There is sadness and misery I can hear you whispering prayers for me But I can also see you very clearly Deeply regretting giving birth to me Mother, this is your wayward baby I’m sorry that you can’t understand me The state of my hair or the clothes I wear The fact that I’m never really there “Always living life without care” you said But I swear I’m better off elsewhere Birth giver, this is your son of a gun Your boyfriend has always made me feel Unwelcome and emotionally numb I left home so you don’t have to sleep alone But since then my heart has turned to stone And my mommy issues are starting to show
