Is myself from your point of view.
Can we rewind? Go back just a bit in time?
To the day I was six,
Roasting marshmallows next to bonfires?
Or maybe just,
A time when -
Breathing was easy?
Cause I miss you,
And I have no idea what to do.
You said you were scared,
Now I understand why.
Some days it’s hard,
To just get by.
You raised me right though,
So I won’t give up.
Stubborn and emotional,
Two traits I got from you.
Sometimes it’s hard -
To go on without you.
But then I hear your voice,
Cut through thin air.
“Little girl, don’t cry,
You’re stronger than that.
Work smarter,
Not harder.”
