I shouldn't have relied on you


I bet you don't even notice That your criticisms really hurt Please try to screen The awful things that you blurt. I don't want to hear you So just talk to yourself  Stop telling me about the material things Screw you and your wealth. It takes more than money To be a good person Because as I get older This relationship just worsens. I can't even trust you With the simplest things This puppet, from your hand, Has ripped away it's strings Stop yelling at me about random subjects That have nothing to do with me I just want peace and quiet But you never let me be After college, I don't want to see you again Let's just travel a different way Oh, and my apologies if I'm too late or early, But... Happy Mother's Day.

I can't really say much about this. I hope it made sense for or did something for somebody, I just poured my frustration out, in hopes that I'd be good at something; I shouldn't be lazy.
