Mommy Dearest

My mother
The one supposed to be your best friend
How come I don't feel the same way?
My mother who's trying to steal my freedom away

Too overprotecting, I hardly can breath
The cage I'm in is locked silently
My life already planned out in front of me
Mom? Don't I have anything to consider to say?

My opinions don't mean a thing
And always reminding me her words are the right thing
Never a kiss, never a hug
It makes me sad that coldness has taken over our hearts

Please let me live my own life
Make my own mistakes
And don't tell me I told you so
Since you don't really know what has been going on
I have to learn from life the way I want it so

You are losing your child this way can't you see?
And that's because of your own choice, you want it this way not me
I didn't want this you know that, the fights, the arguing
But you give me no choice, the future uncertain ahead

I can honestly say that I hate you right now
Those awful names you called me
Aren't the ones said by a mother your only captured by hate
So mommy dearest where will we go from here?

I just want you to let me go
It won't be easy for you that I know
But for the both of us it will be a better thing
To accept the changes that are going to be in both of our lives
