Mothers day
Funny how today is the day to celebrate the one who brought you life
but I do not know the woman
I thought I did
I was wrong
silly little girl your mommy's a phantom
chasing a high you couldn't even fathom
dear little girl how does that feel?
knowing your fear is growing bigger every year?
I spent 14 years waiting around
and you couldn't even bother to call
I feel like the biggest clown of them all
and now I see kids with their mothers and families all bright
but now I don't even want to fight
for I know this will never come true
that will never grow up with you.
