Mommy yells and she screams
more now that she stopped drinking
I thought she'd be better
but what was I thinking?

Mommy's always been angry
at the dogs or at me
Sometimes I'm just playing
and she comes in screaming

Mommy seems so sad
sometimes glued to the couch
I try to ask what's wrong
her only reply is "ouch"

Where did Mommy go?
Will she come back to me?
Is this being passed down?
Will my children hear screams?

I hope Mommy comes back
and the doctors fix her head
I'm so tired of being scared
and hiding underneath my bed

I still love my mommy
you know I always will
but Mommy's disease is
a silent thing that kills
