Mommy Dearest....

The times have changed, so have we. The things of our past, you refuse to see. You never was there, you stayed busy all the time. You caused so much pain, never being by my side. You were there for the others, I guess I was the outcast. Saying, "You're your daddy's daughter," in the words of our past. You never tried to help me, in my days of need. And yet you wondered why I felt you were rejecting me. Your house is not the same, I don't feel right being there. All I feel is the pain, and the times you didn't care. Let me take that back, you never have and never will. Have you ever wondered, the cause of me over dosing on those pills? Can you give me a reason for all the times you made me cry? Or even the slightest of an excuse, for all the times I tried to die. All that, I can accept, but yet your doing it once more. You put a man be for your daughters and chose to shut the door. Tell me is it a man whose abusive, who downs them all the time. Is he worth all the hours, that he made your children cry. All their tears, you refuse to see, so you sit there smoking dope. Your the reason why it's so hard for them to cope. You never came over, just to visit, or even say hi. The only time you ever hugged me, was on the passing by. So, now don't try to be the mother you never tried to be. I no longer care, therefor your dead to me.
