Mother 

thinks 

that 

because 

she's 

seen 

the 

tip 

of 

the 

ice 

burg,


She 

knows 

whats 

beneath 

me


Mother 

thinks 

that 

because 

she's

seen 

me 

hold 

myself 

together,


She 

knows 

that 

I'm 

strong


Mother 

thinks 

that 

because 

she 

makes 

me 

smile,


She 

knows 

how 

to 

fix 

me



Mother 

thinks 

that 

because 

laugh,


I'm 

happy 

again




Mother,


Tell

me 

how 

you 

know 

all 

of 

these 

things 

when 

you've 

seen 

nothing 

but

The 

shadow 

of 

myself 

mask 

to 

keep 

you

happy


Tell 

me 

why 

everything 

touch 

turns 

to 

smithereens,


When 

I'm 

trying 

to 

hold 

it 

all 

together


Mother, 


I'm holding it together for you,
But I just don't know fucking how
