Just Be My Mother

It's so tough to meet your expectations.
You put too much pressure on me.
You try so hard to make me be like you.
All I want to do is just be me.
I get tired of having to hide the way I feel.
I hate putting on fake smiles and walking around like nothings wrong.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe there was a reason my smile was turned upside down and my laugh was slowly fading away?
Did you know that I wrote a song?
It was great.
It was about you and the pain you put me through.
Yea, I know this is the part where you tell me that I'm insane.
Guess again, I'm perfectly sane.
How about you?
You come home drunk almost every night?
What does that make you?
An alcoholic.
No, actually it makes you a lot more than that.
It makes you a disapointment.
You're my mother, but you treat me like I'm nothing.
You were supposed to be an angel God sent.
You are far from that.
You don't pay attention to my feelings about anything.
I just want you to tell me you love me.
I just want you to be here for me.
Just be my mother, that's all I'm asking for.
