Mother

All of my life I trusted you But you always hurt me Whatever you do Build up my hopes Before you smash them down Hurl some more insults Laugh like a clown Is it the liquor? Or is this really you? Just because you're miserable Must I be too? Where did you learn To be so cruel? Why must all our conversations End in a duel? You've constructed a fortress With bottles of beer Even when you're sober I wonder if you're sincere
