I pushed myself to be the best
Because i wanted my mother
To tell me she was proud
I thought when I'd hear those words coming from her
I'd feel complete and proud
The day came
She told me she was proud
I didn't feel the pride and completeness
I realised
I had to be proud of myself first
Before i could feel the pride of someone else being proud of me
I had to do it for myself
Before i could do it for anyone
I had to be complete to myself first
Before i could be complete to someone else
