My Mother and Me.

She smokes and has a drink
She suspects what he thinks of me
She doesn't care..

I smoke and I drink
I know what he thinks of me
I don't care.

She goes through everyday pretending to not hear
She knows what he says to me
She doesn't care

I try to be the best I can be
but I hear what he says to me
and I do care.

She turns her head away
She sees what he does to me
She doesn't care.

I cry and I sway
I feel what he does to me
I try not to care.

She laughs and cheats
She watches him hurt me
For her daughter, she doesn't even care.

I'm so engulfed in the angry heats
I feel him hurt me
But I don't care
Because never again will I feel.
