Mommy...

Mommy…
You lie through your teeth to me,
 im your daughter how can you not see.
 If I could change why cant you?
 Why cant you see the bad things you do?
 By manipulation and even pain,
 I thought you were better, I thought you would change. 
But you didn’t.

What it takes a lot of us a live time to realize is that mothers are just woman who have children. Mothers & fathers are just human and make mistakes and do the best they can or don't...but...giving birth does not give one the answer to ANY questions or make one a good person if one wasn't already. BIG HUGS!!! Maudlin Madonna is about my mom. Light & Love
