Hi mum,You raised me well, all the bad about me, it’s all on meI lost my way along the journey; how do I turn back?My desire to live a perfect life made me force things that didn’t fitYour prayers saved meBut what will sustain me?They said there is a spell cast upon me, I didn’t believe in suchBut if I am not a threat, why are dark forces fighting me this hard?You taught me patience, I did the oppositeI knew what I wanted, but I didn’t wait for itI always wake up when it’s too lateRepairing the damage always cost meRed for danger? Maybe I am a bull at a showThe wrong people I ‘ve met in my life, I attractedI once stood at a door to the good life, but there was a sign that said restrictedSo much has happened in my life which a lot of people still questionSome of them are shameful and most are sad to mentionYou raised me to be great, but what I am now, that’s on me.
