she has no power

I did not hear her bullying voice any more
Her words of meanness I deplore
for she has no power, she does not soar
Mediocre and dull, blah sameness
is what she applauds and adores
I am glad to let you know,
I do not hear mother any more

that was the worst side of her - she was extremely sarcastic but there was a really sweet wonderful witty side too which she showed the rest of the world
