don't blame your mother because she doesn't know what you're in

don't blame your mother because she's frustrated that you haven't said more than a few words and it's her weekend off

don't blame your mother for slamming your door when she enters for the seventh time today and you're still in bed

it's not her fault for the things that you feel and it's not her fault for not being able to understand
but it isn't your fault either

you've been broken ten ways to Sunday and it is a miracle you still have your limbs

you don't have to worry that your extremities are numb and chilled because your heart is doing the best it can

your vocal chords need a rest sometimes and it's not your mother's fault for not understanding

but it's not yours either
