Oh mother why do you look at me that way?
With your disapproving eyes, and evil grin.
What are you expecting me to say?
With you, I say nothing, only way to win.
What's that you say?
You were a good mom....you did all that you could?
Know what I say?
You never even did what you should!
So you don't approve and you aren't proud?
So far in my life I've done nothing right?
I can't believe you say these things out loud.
Why are you wanting to pick a fight?
So you wish I were never born?
And you say this with such honesty.
My patience with you is worn.
I can't believe this.... you cannot see.
Remember that girl of age seven?
Looking up at you with tear stained eyes...
As you told her "Daddy's in Hell, not Heaven"
Caring mother....heh....what a disguise!
Remember that girl of age fourteen?
Begging you to make him stop.....
You defended the fiend.
And dared her to call the cops.
Remember the girl of age twenty four?
Newly divorced, trying to raise 2 kids....
You criticized and called her a whore.
And disapproved of everything she did.
That girl is now a woman of thirty three
And cares nothing about the things you say.
You cower now when you look at me.
And you know soon comes the day.
My kids love me with all their heart.
You try your hardest to come between us...
But you will never tear us apart!
So you throw your fits,scream and cuss.
Do you think they don't see the things you have done?
The stories you make up.....the lies you have told.....
The way you have hit my son....
Ahhhh mom, you're not as quick now, you are getting old.
I grew up alone.....raising myself
No mother to love me and guide me
When daddy died, you put me on a shelf
Now a mother to shove me and hide me.
Too bad you cant open your eyes
To see who I have become.
But with you I still wear a disguise
With you I have become numb.
So go on and live with your shame
Make others think your a saint
I'm done playing your game
How do you like the picture I can paint?
