Adopted

So you got what you wanted 
I was always haunted 
Little did I know
It's was all about your little show
Instead you knew how to throw 
My life away

You made me bleed
You made me cry
This made you feel so high
Treating me like I was the other guy.

You broke the only thing I had of my mom
And I remained calm
You told me to leave
And called me a thieve
 
As if you hadn't had enough
I can't put you in handcuffs
I'd hate you
I loved you
It's all I knew 

My eyes are swollen
You told me I was given easily 
And I insist I was stolen
By you

The dried blood on my neck
And the almost invisible scaratches on my chest
Is the reason I'm constantly stressed
You never confessed.
So I leave you with the rest

With enough evidence 
It becomes evident

Just as I'm not your daughter
Your not my mother 
I received your true color 
So don't even bother.
