"Dear Mother"


A lot of the times I remember Were ones I try to forget You would tell yourself it was just a spark But the fire was already lit I don't know if you tried But I know you could have done better So I tell myself I can fix it up If i write a simple letter You can't take back what was already done When everything is all unfixed You can tell your lies and apologize But this time I wont e tricked It's not supposed to be this way You're not supposed to lie I don't want you to think I'm rude So I wont bother to ask you why I'm building up some bravery Before people start to discover I write these lines of poetry To write to you "Dear Mother"
