“Selfish Mama!� by Robert Yanez
I see in the way you sway as you weigh the options of what the world has to offer Your smile to the world, yet I see the tears in your smile I hear the wails in your laughter, the silent midnight hiccups I feel the sadness in your heart, Mama
But you are selfish as a fox at the same time a lioness
You try so hard to hide the scars on your hands You try so hard to hide your bruised palms and scarred soles Just so you can wipe away my tears Your selfishness is breaking my heart, Mama I will also be selfish For if you find out, it will kill you
