mother never cared as such to tell me to eat my greens
her absence of discipline matches her obsession with greed
mother can't you see how my tantrums reflected yours
my screams for affection silenced by gin and locked doors
mother never cared as such to tell me to eat my greens
now I smoke them to forget her face and burn out my genes
for my mother, the unfortunate reality being we are bonded by blood, making it mandatory to say i love you. im unsure how to love a person whom i dont know but in a sick way i love you more when youre hurting me. even though you dont remember when you drunkenly told me i was a pest not a daughter it really never surprised me- i guess youve treated me accordingly
