mama


**** the **** who told me to create my own happiness
**** the **** who left me to fend for myself
**** the **** who caused me burning pain
**** the **** who let me cry alone on the floor
**** the **** who double crossed me with her words
**** the **** that never apologized for her wrongs
**** the **** who raised me to be like her
**** the **** who screamed at my honesty
**** the **** who said i could go kill myself
**** the **** that let him pin her down choking on tears
**** the **** i am forced to call mom
