'Mommy Dearest'

Mommy dearest, you tried to protect me from this world But only succeeded in producing a mixed up little girl Mommy dearest, you tried to save me from myself But succeeded only in incresaing my stealth Mommy dearest, you tried to teach me how to listen But only succeeded in fueling my rebellion Mommy dearest, you tried to make me in you reliant But succeeded only in making me more defiant Mommy dearest, you tried to teach me paitence is a virtue But only succeeded in fueling my self-torture Mommy dearest, you tried to instill in me your creed But succeeded only in making my soul bleed Mommy dearest, you tried so hard But you couldn't accept that I'm not who you are Written March 18th, 2002 © on Mar 18 2002 07:14 AM PST   0 • 1
