What She Wanted


Never forget who you are Thats what my mother told me That advice took me far Unfortunately that couldn't be. If it wasn't for those nights She claimed I was hers And it started all those fights That fuled the angry cinders. She wanted me to be myself Yet she wanted me changed She wanted an image of herself And every time I cringed. I never wanted to be what she was But eventually she got her way.
