Thank you for all the times you tucked me in [at your convenience]
Thank you for all of the times you sang me a song, to help me fall asleep [ after what seemed like hours of begging]
Thank you for helping me get up in the morning [ after you slept in an extra hour]
Thank you for always helping me pick out my clothes [ once you criticized the first 6 outfits]
Thank you for 'driving' me to school, [even though I asked for a ride]
Thank you for helping me with homework [ again, at your convenience]
Thank you for keeping up my self confidence [ by, insulting me]
Thank you for telling me I need to watch my weight [ by forcing me to play in the park cause I'm too "big"]
Thank you for always reminding me how special I am [ not compared to my wonderful sister]
Thank you for saying you'll always be there [ even though I can't find you half the time]
Thank you for being someone I can always count on [ even though your problems always take more pressidence]
Thank you for caring when I moved across the country [ even though you could barely speak to me]
Thank you for always keeping in touch to see how I'm doing [ it's been 2 months but who's counting right]
And thank you for being some one who builds me up [ well who is supposed to, but tears me down instead]
So thank you mother, for being the light in my life [that evidently burned out years ago]
Thank you.
- sincerely your daughter, the one you [supposedly] love.
