Liar

Dear mom, 
Liar… 
That’s what’ve called me all my life 
I’m tired 
My heart hurts 
You think I’m selfish 
When I know that’s the last thing I am 
I’m the most unselfish 
You don’t get it 
Pushing me away 
Hurting me 
It needs to stop 
It’s killing me 

I’m angry with myself 
I don’t know what I did 
To make you feel this way about me 
To think I’m a selfish liar 
What did I do ma 
Is it because of the predisposition
Is it because I was born by some druggies 
What is it ma 

There’s things that shall stay unsaid 
Because sadly you wouldn’t believe 
Even if it was written in the stars 
It’s sad I gotta live my life labeled 
Labeled as a liar a selfish liar 
When’s it gonna stop ma
I’m tired ma 
I’m hurting ma 
Oh please ma, what did I do
