WHY MUM?

When i open my mouth to speak
you cut through me like a knife
for every gasp of a word i start
you belittle each and every tone i make
you are always cold and bitter toward me
but what did i do to make your mind this way
for every time i try to speak
you cut me short on what i say
i don't know why you hate me this way

Did you not want me, this girl in your life
you are so good with my brothers
but twisted in me with the knife
i feel this pain you inflict each day
for everything i feel, for everything i say.
