Yes, I can do this all on my own
But really, why would I want to?
Being capable of independence
Doesn’t mean that I don’t need you, too.

Yes, I can navigate life’s intricacies
Schedules are kind of my jam
But I’d be happy to share my calendar
So we can work on a master plan

Yes, I’m a kick *** mama
No matter the problem, I find a way
But it’d be nice if I knew you’d be there
At the end of those really tough days

Yes, I’m mastering my confidence
And as much as I’d like to say
That I don’t need your validation
It’d still be nice to hear anyway.

Yes, I can handle the hard times
I always somehow pull through
But it sure would seem less scary
If I were facing my hurdles with you
to stay, or not to stay.... that is the question.
