the promise i'm keeping

i look at the mirror, and it's not me i'm seeing.
i find myself in lots of confusion,
and i'm not sure of what to do.

i could only wish, and wishes stay the same.
i pray, but there's been no answers.
doubts started to occur,
and my feet are trembling.

but then i look at her,
the tears she tries to hold,
the pain she's been bearing,
and i can't bear seeing her that way either.

it was once for me,
my life, my things and stuff.
now hope seems lost,
and i was going to go off the road,

now it's all for her,
the one who gave life to me,
the one i love the most in my life,

this is the promise i'm keeping.
and for all i know, i'm gonna finish well, finish strong.

i love you, mom.
