Chelsea Leigh

Take my words, expose them as lies I want to be wrong, I want to be denied Show me I’m mistaken and that I’ve lied all along Show me what your not, and prove me to be wrong Tell me you want more out of this life More than just saying you want to do what’s right I don’t want to hear what you think I’d like What I want to hear from you is “mom you’re not right” Lies become stronger and more powerful with time Don’t fall into this trap of manipulative crime So Chelsea Leigh, what else can I do? Then to prove to my daughter that you’re amazing too Contrary to your beliefs and your condescending views You’ve failed to realize I’ve always been watching you Observing and listening to your each and every move Giving you love and guidance, watching you improve So call me a liar, and illustrate your new approach Confirm your new identity without me to coach I now see the talent, I’ve tried to set free I now see the daughter, who no longer resembles me
