What Kind Of

What kind of cause you sure aint none of the above you want the title of mother but you weren't there when boogie man came and I shivered under the covers What kind of you didn't watch me the television set remained off and I was forced to grow up while you became someone else you weren't even a neighbor let alone in my neighborhood so what makes you think that I should call you " Mommy" Just because DNA says I should Dearest stranger never around when I was feeling any pain but you always wanted that thank you before I got the sorry I should be the parent and get a belt and come and spank you all my life you've been tardy What kind of mother were you? Can you look me in the eyes and answer me this question please because all my life you've never been there like a real mother should when her child really needs.
