Mothers Empty Heart

Why do you hate me?
Because you're not like me
Why do you treat me like you do?
It's discipline, not abuse
Why did you do to me what you did?
What does it matter? You're the kid
Why did you cause me so much pain?
What are you talking about? You brought the pain
Why don't you love me as your daughter?
Are you crazy? I was the perfect mother

So sad. Mothers are a tough subject. I'm sorry for what you're going through.
