My Mother's Daughter

I am falling harder, forgetting what it is to breathe,

Alone and take up space, for me, myself and only me.

For who am I if I'm not with you? What good am I on my own?

Am I able to be my own person? Can I breathe if I'm alone?

I don't remember if I'm good at anything,

I can't seem to find my way.

An imposter in my own body,

How did I breathe yesterday?

Taking it one step, closer, further forwards every day.

One step, further, and find my voice if just to say,

I might fall, I might falter, but I am my Mother's Daughter and I will find my way,

I might fall, I might falter, but I am my Mother's Daughter and I will find my way.

I am running faster, to pick the best pieces back up,

Find a space and fit them in, maybe then I'll be enough.

For who am I if I'm not with you? What good am I on my own?

Can I just be my own person? Take a breath, you're not alone.

I can't remember how to just be by myself,

I can't seem to find my way.

An imposter in every room,

How did I stand up yesterday?

Taking it one step, closer, further forwards every day.

One step, further, and find my voice if just to say,

I might fall, I might falter, but I am my Mother's Daughter and I will find my way,

I might fall, I might falter, but I am my Mother's Daughter and I will find my way.

I don't remember who I was, but that's okay,

Remnants always find a way to stick.

An imposter, but I'll make myself more comfortable,

And I'll belong a little more each day.

Taking it one step, closer, further forwards every day.

One step, further, and find my voice if just to say,

I might fall, I might falter, but I am my Mother's Daughter and I will find my way,

I might fall, I might falter, but I am my Mother's Daughter and I will find my way.
