There are some days where knowing what I lack Rekindles an anger I don't know how to lessen As I try to reach the knife lodged in my back The blade sunk deeper and deeper over time As the stabber kept holding on Holding me back as I tried to climb There was no fixing it, no hope All I could finally do was leave Believing space and time could help me cope But bad days still appear suddenly before my face Where I'm reminded of what I try to ignore That the role of a mother can't be replaced It takes so much effort to fake it again and again To tell myself I don't need a mom, I'm fine But words can't always hold back the pain Of the knife she left in my back

She Left it There
There are some days where knowing what I lack Rekindles an anger I don't know how to lessen As I try to reach the knife lodged in my back The blade sunk deeper and deeper over time As the stabber kept holding on Holding me back as I tried to climb There was no fixing it, no hope All I could finally do was leave Believing space and time could help me cope But bad days still appear suddenly before my face Where I'm reminded of what I try to ignore That the role of a mother can't be replaced It takes so much effort to fake it again and again To tell myself I don't need a mom, I'm fine But words can't always hold back the pain Of the knife she left in my back
