i didn't think        
i would be like this                  
sad, angry, depressed        
i'm not that bad
i still function    
- most of the time -                     but  
i didn't know    
that everyone says you're
"off the rails"                                
you'd think i'd know
i mean                                
i'm your daughter                    
i thought it might be more obvious        
if my mother was crazy                        
and that
the whole town    
is just waiting
for me to either      
go insane                        
rebel                        
or become
really depressed                        
because of her                        
it's frightening
in a small town
when they all know        
and are waiting                
for my                                
eventual
insanity
