Mother

When I was younger, you were all I wanted
I was really close to you
I hated the idea of spending my time with anyone else
I was a stubborn child
"Mother, mother" I cried.
As I grew a little it was harder to stay close to you
Everything I did felt wrong and I only vented through my songs
Every time I spoke to you, all you told me was "be strong"
But I felt weak and couldn't show you, so in silence...
"Mother, mother" I cried.
Now I'm older and I'm not close to you
We argue about small things at this point
I let you tell me how you feel but I break in my silence
Putting pieces of myself back together hoping you won't notice
I'm not the same child anymore I've lost so many parts of who I was
Hurt me as you will
I hate the idea of spending time with anyone else
I am a stubborn child and so as I stared at death himself
"Mother, mother" I cried
