Mother, you ruined it

by Roxiee An   Oct 23, 2007


If your mother slapped you when you first lied,
you wouldnt pretend to this extent now,
your friends could have trusted you as well,
all of your relations might have been much stronger,
and may be you would miss catching Kelly,
your best friend with your boy friend in the scene

If your mother slapped you when you came home late,
you wouldnt wake up sleepless for long nights,
your dancing hobby could have been a fun,
all the party habits might have done atleast some good,
and may be you would not lost your virginity,
been gang raped in the night club on Friday

If your mother slapped you when you drunk the first time,
you wouldnt have been that dull and weird,
your craze for new things could be used with care,
all this smoking routine may kill you someday,
and may be you would not be a drug addict,
stealing money from the purse to get cocaine

If your mother slapped you when you got bad grades,
you wouldnt have been teased by the girls around,
your aptitude for learning could have earned you fame,
all the dreams that you saw might have been reality,
and may be you would not like to stay alone in dark,
Crying again for you always wanted to become a doc

Now you cant turn back the years of this pinching pain,
nor can you forget the ignorant mistakes you made,
I clearly see that your mother is the one who ruined it all,
run into her room to blame her loudly for the downfall,
she could well surprise you by a change this time and
may be she slaps you back to bring the tears held in your eyes
