Sorry Mom

I know that I've hurt you,
In more ways than just one.
But I have to admit,
It hurt me, too.

I'm sorry for yelling,
About the things you say.
About the e-mail I sent,
And all the stuff that ruined your day.

I'm sorry for writing,
What I wrote in that note.
Sometimes I make things up,
Like a soap opera, it was just a joke.

Lies I have told you,
to get me out of trouble.
But the trouble,
it only doubled.

Thoughts I've thought,
About leaving my life.
But I know you love me.
So I only left my strife.

Don't keep me from my friends,
Don't listen to the things people say.
Everyone gets down some time in life,
But mine is done and I am okay.

I want to be a normal teen,
With a guy and my best friend.
No matter how my life goes,
there's happiness around the bend.

Can I go over there some time?
So I can just hang out?
There are some things that no one knows,
and I don't ever want to talk about.

Mom, here's a summary,
About what I've said and done.
It always hurt me, too.
and what pain I caused wasn't for fun.
