Freedom of Speech

I find it wrong of you to punish me, What kind of mother are you trying to be? In a situation like this, I need help, Why can't you hear my silent yelps? It's sad that you're more concerned about you, I'm your only daughter, I hope you're embarrassed too. One day I hope you feel like a terrible person, By not helping me now, my life might just worsen. Soon enough, you will take the load of blame, And I will be a wild animal, unable to tame. Don't come crying to me at that point, I will do nothing to you but disappoint. Don't start acting like you care now, That is one of the many things I will not allow. Is it not obvious that i don't want you in my life? Between us there is and never will be any strife. Some of your actions are so compulsive, I hate to say it, but you're repulsive. You ask me why I want to go to college so far away, And now you're on your knees begging me to stay. I can't handle being stuck with you all the time, But still you try to figure out why I'm losing my mind. I know you're my mother, But you don't need to swarm and smother. What don't you understand about me wanting to be alone? It's like every time I say that, your mind is blown. Please give me some space, let me be me, I don't need you to protect me when I fall to my knees. You make yourself seem like the only person I can rely on, Please don't try to contact me when I'm gone. I honestly don't need you mom, Please oh please, remain calm.
