I know how hard you've been trying
I've seen you crying
I accepted, but was still denying.
There were times I couldn't hold on
Kept praying from dusk till dawn
I had no one to rely upon.
At times I felt hopeless
Without you by my side I felt homeless.
There were times I lost my sanity
Forcefully had to embrace maturity.
I know I lost half of my childhood
But I believe it was all for the good.
Because the things that broke me down made me stronger.
It kept me going a bit longer.
It made me realize I was a good daughter.
Sometimes with you in your world I used to wander.
It was devastating seeing you like this everyday.
Thought the clouds above us will always be grey.
But no matter what we went through
I never gave up on you mom.
I still have hope
And I miss you the most.
I know you'll be completely okay
If not today, then definitely some other day.
Because I know there's always a way.
