~Norman~
I hear my mother
Her voice familiar but faint
She tells me I am her's
And I will be there for her always
Yet I feel alone
Her words have become so distant
Its as if they aren't coming from her at all
But instead from an empty, demanding shell
I've come to dispize attending to her needs
She takes and takes and takes
But what does she give me in return
Love?
I don't know
I would like to think so
But how can I know
When throughout my life she's told me I'm nothing
And will never amount to anything
Other than her little boy
But mother
I am not a little boy anymore
I am a grown man
And wish
No
Demand
To be treated as such
I want to leave you
And return only to visit your grave and smile
Knowing I was able to
Knowing I was free
~
What have I done
I've hurt the only one who ever loved me
Cared for me
My only friend
My reason for living
My mother
She was right
I am nothing
