Momma's Little Hero
Every momma wants her little boy to grow up and be a hero
Six years of age she planted the seed
His young hands burdened, bewildered, and confused
How the hell can a little boy satisfy a woman's needs?
Nobody ever told him
Be what you are, not what she needs you to be
She made him her lover but only through words
An inappropriate intimacy enlaced with high hopes and dreams
She made him her fabric, wove him so tight
But robbed him of his youth worrying about how to live up to expectations so high
Nobody ever told him
Be what you are, not what she needs you to be
Forever imprisoned by shame and standards that he can't uphold
'Till momma's little hero sets himself free
He will always be a man-child walking forever frightened
By those big scary words 'commitment' and 'need'
A deep distrust that he could ever satisfy
That a woman could just love him for free
And say
Be what you are, not what she needs you to be
Be who you are, not what she needs you to be
Momma's little hero
