When I was a kid
Mother was the biggest word I knew
Someone who existed
Just for you
When I became one myself
My heart split into two
But one thing didn't change
I had dreams for myself too
Dreams and goals
The need for time-outs too
A mother is 24/7
But ain't she human too?
My son makes me happy
When he holds me tight
But I make my own happiness too
I have that right
The right to keep a part to myself
For my own pleasure and pain
The part that is Amazonian
That knows no rein
