Feeling like my mother Never finding a way to leave Holding any kind of affection close to me Feeling like my mother I hate seeing me, the body that I have is not  feeding me I'm hungry for success, but it's too scary to see Discovering who I am meant to be Shriveled up in the corner Feeling ashamed to ask for help   Mother like child Child like mother The apple that fell Feeling like my mother, I shout, Scared to take a leap, never believing in myself I'm swimming in a pitful of doubt Being observant pays the tole Soaking up her behavior, I'm an empty soul Copy and paste, such a waste, lost potential in the worst way Do I have it in me to go or stay? The apple that fell.

Breaking the generational chain is the challenge they say.
