I feel like sometimes you have felt like a failure as a daughter
You were maybe ashamed of yourself in front of Mom or your Dad
And I feel like sometimes you feel that you are not a good enough mother
That maybe you can’t be enough for your children as you would like to be
And I feel like you sometimes feel like you are a poor friend, that maybe you can’t stay in touch or keep relationships as much as you’d like
And maybe, just maybe, to the others - you might feel like a defective sister
But never, in my entire memory, t o m e.
I should probably tell you that.
