DEAR MUM,
For all the years I loved you
For all the tears I cried
for all the times I bled
And swallowed all your lies,
All those years of playing make-believe
to project a "happy home"
For those nights I cried myself to sleep
In the dark and all alone.
I want to show you all the anger
all the hurt and all the pain
But I buried it so deep,Mum,
Can't say when it will rise again
The wounds they cut real deep
they still weep in my dreams
And in your nightmares I wonder
Do you ever hear me scream?
I don't know why you hurt me so
Or why you do the things you do
Or why I look the other way
to make life easier on you
If I looked down deep and searched real hard
I know just what I'd see
I'd see how much I hate you,Mum
And all the shit you did to me
And for once I'd like to talk to you
Tell why all this has to be
And to have you look me in the eye
And tell me something I can believe....

I am the Queen of repression, and some times it just spurts out.
