People say I'm lucky to have my mother alive
they do not know is that my mother has been dead
the woman who lives in my home is not a mother
she does not take care of me when need be
she's not there to comfort me when I am sad
she is the hurricane that makes me question is it worth it to fight
or to just give up and drown
she downs ***** like you would with your favorite juice
she cannot handle the responsibilities she has given herself
and sometimes I think it would be better if she was dead
so I wouldn't have to explain everyone
that her body lives, but she's been gone for awhile
