Mother

Mother

You're called a mother,
But when you hear my voice,
You shutter.
"She can't belong to me!??"
You thought to yourself.
I know, I could see.
It was written across your face.
That look was painful,
As if I was a different race.
You don't care!
As if it were protection,
I hold on tight to my teddy bear.
I cry myself to sleep,
And think, "What a botch!??"
There's nothing left to do but weep.
Some days I just want to run away!
She never listens to my pain.
I just can't stay.
She chooses my brother.
It's like I don't exist.
Yah, right! Some mother.
I try hard to make her proud,
But nothing works.
I scream for her hand threw the crowd.
Nothing happens.
I look up, crying for help.
She turns her head in shame.
She remains unmoved.
She begins to walk away.
Your love for me has yet to be proved.
