when

When I was a child.

When I was a child no more

Momma said to me

Don’t ever tame your demons boy

Don’t ever tame those demons

Momma cried when I weren’t a child no more

Momma begged when she saw the love n life leave her boys eyes

Don’t ever kill your demons

Momma cried for her boy long dead

Momma knew his demons would keep his fire ragging

Momma knew her child was gone long ago

When she watched the fires light in her baby boys eyes

The demons were his friends now
