You treat me like I'm not your daughter
It's enough that I don't know my father
But for you you to treat me like I don't exist
Makes me feel like I'm worthless
It seems as though
I've lost control
Of everything I'm supposed to be
You're not making my life easy
Oh mother why do I even try
To be the perfect daughter
You never wanted me to be me
It's not easy
You curse me
And joke about my scars
You tell me my life shouldn't be that hard
But tell that to the scars
I wear this smile
Glued to my face
Because my feelings are a disgrace
But inside I'm crying
I feel like I'm dying
I'm laughing
But nothing's funny
To cover up the tears
I fill myself with lies
I tell myself I'm beautiful
But I'm actually pitiful
No self worth
You're not the one to blame
You just make me go insane

Of everything I'm supposed to be

Oh mother why do I even try

You tell me my life shouldn't be that hard
But tell that to the scars
I wear this smile
Glued to my face
Because my feelings are a disgrace
But inside I'm crying
I feel like I'm dying
I'm laughing
But nothing's funny
To cover up the tears
I fill myself with lies
I tell myself I'm beautiful
But I'm actually pitiful
No self worth
You're not the one to blame
You just make me go insane
No one should ever feel this way or be a victim of mental abuse especially by a mother
