A ton of words
My mother says
Against that boy
Besides our place.
He is not so smart
He is not so good
You deserve a man
Above his looks.
But oh dear mama
What do I do
I've fallen in love
With him, it's true.
So tell me whether
I repeat your mistakes
And spend my life
With a man I hate.
For reasons that
Are hardly sane
For a future contained
In a steel safe.
You fear wings
You despise the unknown
But oh dear mother
Adventures strengthen our soul.
So let me walk
Not the path you chose
Let me hurt
And let me grow.
For if I don't find
What I'm looking for
I'll still discover
Myself, for sure.
