Mother


Mother

Hope your happy now

Your dream

Was lived through your child

But what

ABout mine

Must I repeat this par-

adigm

So I go

Wondering

Should my dream stay

A dream

And in time

Be eclipsed

By your dreams and e-

v'ryone's wish

 

Mother

Sorry you could not achieve

Your dream

When you were so young and free

But please

Hear me out

I have mine to do

It's dire

 

How long must

I await

Till my dreams all get

Their day

And it be

In my life

What's the point

If I die

 

Are my dreams

Out of reach

I hope not

 

Mother

I must follow my dreams

You see

Grudges come easily

For me

The last

Thing I want

Is to resent the ones

I love

 

And also

I can be

Quite a monster when I

Envy

So goodbye

Lisitsa

And hello In-

deever
