Expectation


Oh Mother, how you demand perfection

All I ever wanted was your love and affection

You never listened to me

It's like you didn't have ears

Your heart is cold it's always been pitch black

You've given my heart a huge crack

Whenever I stood up

You shoved me back down

You always acted like I wasn't around

While you complain and hold your reign

You have been oblivious to my pain

Oh Mother, how you are so blind

This is why I'm leaving you behind
