Mom

Can you not understand

That I'm hurting too?

That it's scary for me

When I don't know you

Stop acting like everything's OK

Don't tell me that you're fine

I can't bear to leave you like this

Because you will always be mine.

A child shouldn't fear their parent

They should feel safe in their arms.

A child shouldn't have to watch a parent

And try to protect them from harm

A parent shouldn't hide from their kid

Keep secrets behind closet doors

A parent shouldn't lie through their teeth

They should admit that they've hid more

It's not my fault that I got scared!!

I didn't want to get hit

You could've hurt us both you know

I through with all this shit.

So don't cry for me anymore.

I'm stronger than you think.

I guess I have you to thank for that

Oh no your turning pink...

I'm sorry mommy,

I love you too.

I was just mad that's all.

Please mommy,

Please don't go away.
