Times are getting weary,
Problems accumulating like thick fog making it hard to see clearly,
Not knowing what road to take,
trying to differentiate right from wrong for your sake.

Hurting inside but masking it from you,
Because although I’m scared that's the last thing i want to do,
I look up to you, you were always my role model,
But this stranger you become is just awful.

Lifting me up to drag me back down,
Trying to keep myself above sea level trying not to drown,
All i ever wanted was to make you proud,
But it’s getting harder to concentrate the screams are just too loud.

What have I done to you to deserve this treatment?
I thought you were supposed to help me fight my inner demons,
But it seems as if now you've become one,
A demon who has pulled each seam until I was completely undone.

Completely exposed showing my weaknesses,
You continue firing at me with your loaded pistol, making sure there’s no witnesses,
Wounded and pinned down on the floor,
I scream “ I've done it all, what else do you want from me, what more?!”

You stare at me in utter disappointment,
As I look back at you I knew in that moment,
I can cross the seven seas and conquer the greatest battles,
But fighting against you I can never handle.

I realized the most tactical way to end all of this,
So i hug you like it was the last time and give you the sweetest daughter’s kiss,
As I say “it’s okay mom, I’ll love you no matter what you do,
Because this is something I’m used to thanks to you.”

And so we walk away from this going different ways,
You with a heavy heart, me with a greater strength to go through my days,
This mother daughter love will never fade,
Because this bond, although it may not be perfect, is something I would never trade.
