i tried, Mother
i really did, Father
to be your perfect, unwanted, "daughter"
but i'll always be in the shadows of her
i'm drowning in the deep black waters
but your hand goes out to my brothers
why am i still trying to be like the others?
craving praise but hiding even my lovers
because if you knew i could love a 'her'
i'd truly be an outcast forever
and so, after years of being called a mother f**ker
while i was made to suffer
i won't pretend any longer
that i was ever anymore than a stranger
i'm not sorry, Mother
i'm so done, Father
