Mom Is Judas

no wonder my trust
'is nothing but rust

they say I'm too serious
but never delirious 

its my humor that got me through
and those years drinking that strong brew

no matter what'
wasn't a squat
 
my mom is a saint
but to me she ain't

Comparing Mom to Judas ... yikes ... sounds like a rocky relationship to me! Humor is a great shield against difficult times ... hope the bond wasn't completely severed.

I believe the commandment "honor thy mother and father" I believe when it comes to mom its better tearing down that bridge between us. She never thought much of me took me 50 years to finally realize that! I don't wish no harm or anything like that she did bring me in this world!

I know this love/hate relationship with one's parent. I went though it when I was 14!
