Mom
You were never there for me
you were always out
you never listened to me
when I wanted to talk to you
why can't you love me
why can't you be there for me
when I needed something
you were too busy
you had no time for me
I wanted to be treated differently
not the same as my brothers
why weren't you there when
I was growing up
you hate me why
you never talk to me why
you never come to my birthday parties
because you hate me
you lie to me about who my dad is
why do you run from everything
you never stay in one place
why can't you just stay home and stop running
dad doesn't understand why you run
all I can say is why do you do this
is it because of me
you have your boyfriend push me down stairs
guys come in and out of the house
you promise me things and you break them
you give me something and you take it back
you're never there
you never will be
why mom
why
