Your aspirations were so slow
Barely driven but to be fair
Generally most people
Are completely unaware
Growing up I wondered am I
The only one who noticed this
I needed your help, I felt your love
Keeping me alive goes without
Saying but anything more is extra
What could cause someone
To want more for their child
Than the bare minimum
Does the mission to have them
Grow up to become what they
Will as the best versions
Of their little selves whom you
Created full of possibilities
Fall short when you want so
Very little for yourself or for
Them as well… we didn’t need
Celebrity but we certainly
Could have done better than
What we did believe me
I have so much more to give
So as an adult I continue to
Work toward the best thing I
Could possibly be with the
Limited time that I have and
We would have had so much more
If your desire to see me succeed
Was part of the plan to believe
In my capabilities as an artist
As a potential human
Would eventually become
With your encouragement
We could have had
More than we did
If you wanted more than
The way you chose to live
Like drugs
