Mother

You’ve told me to my face

It was drugs over me

You brainwashed my little sister

But I know what you’ll always be

Today you tell me that you’re clean

You give me so much hope

Then I turn around the next day

And you’re back on the same ole dope

You wrote me letters from prison

In that dirty little cell

And of course while you were there

I was in my own personal hell

This comes from my heart

Everything I say is true

It’s time to face up to your mistakes

I am through with you

Thank you for showing me how important

A good mother should be

That way I’ll never show my children

The pain that you showed me
