Just a single word,
And I'm biting your head off,
Trying to hold my tongue,
Try as I might it's tough,
You come home bad tempered,
And take it out on me,
I come home with stuff on my mind,
Just wanting you to leave me be,
That has grown to be the norm,
How was seem to communicate,
I wish the tension between us didn't exist,
I just want it to dissipate,
I see others with their parents,
A young girl and her mother, friends,
I wish that could be us someday,
But I doubt it will in the end,
I love you mother, unconditionally,
I would never wish to trade you,
You're the very best mum you can be,
And I know I'm lucky to have you,
I don't know why I can't talk to you,
I never have, and its doubtful I will,
I wish I could talk to you like other girls do with their mums,
But it's too hard, too anger full,
You try you're best to be there,
And you always are no matter what,
I know I've become what I swore I'd never be,
But I can't seem to stop,
I don't mean half the stuff I say,
I don't enjoy snapping and feeling angry,
I want to talk and help you,
And be the best daughter I can be,
I'm obviously failing there,
I can see that now,
No matter what you say to me,
I respond like a big fat cow,
I love you mummy, more than life,
I look up to you in so many ways,
And hope someday I'll be as amazing as you,
Having people look at me also with an upward gaze,
I'm sorry I'm not a great child,
I don't do as much as I should,
I get angry too easily,
Like a normal teenager would,
But I'm not normal,
Our whole family is insane,
I don't want to be a typical teenager,
I don't want to be the same,
I'm working on my attitude,
Figuring out how to hold my tongue,
But I need your help to do so,
I need you to be my mum,
Not to yell at me for everything I do,
Understanding when I need to be left alone,
Try not to look at me as the baby you once knew,
Try to see that I have grown,
I'm still growing up and learning how to fly,
Still finding who I am, my own zone.
But no matter what I do or where I go,
With you will always be my home.
