"Mother Knows Best"

I’ve let you control me

For the better part of my life

Trample everything I have loved

While I lived a silent strife

You’ve abused me

And used me

All because I’m not yours

You’ve invaded my privacy

And broken in all my doors

You’ve taken every right

Every freedom I should have

Saying your protecting me

But it’s all just a trap

You like to watch me suffer

I’m not really sure why

You’re a sick sadistic creature

Who comforts me with lies

I don’t understand it

I’m not sure what I did

Perhaps in a past life

I shouldn’t have lived

You take everything away from me

But my dignity I will restrain

I keep duct taping every hole

On my heart that you have made

All I have left now

Is my bitterness and regret

From letting you abuse me

Something I will never forget

Something I will forever regret.
