Like mother like daughter


It was that night you told me it wasn't real

you always discard the way I feel

like mother, like daughter everyone said 

you do not understand 

I am not okay, and you get so mad

you don't know that I can feel sad

i don't wish to live but yet I'm still here

still breathing, still eating, still smiling 

I remember that night where I asked for help

no one could hear me and I felt so mad

i screamed and cried till you finally came

like mother, like daughter 

never again
