Motherly Bug

first things first you think the worst 
take my worst days and make them worse 
dismiss my words so my side's not heard
and kick like strangers when I'm down hurt 

I fall out with friends you side with them 
isolate me further with sympathy for them 
if the world's against me you side against
you make me feel worse then do it again 

they say you only ever have one 
but Mum you mother like I have none 
why turn to you when I can turn and run
please understand the bond is done
