�Selfish, Ungrateful, Melodramatic�
You take the time
to recognize the monster
in the closet
only in the dark
you feel its bearing presence.
Where does it hide
when you turn on the light?
Only in the shadow
can be safely shed
where your tears
<
Aae also sounds of these
demons
that you�ve welcomed to your head.
You know she�s hurting
from your neglect
the one who chased them away
so you could feel safe when you slept
but you never took the time
to tell her
you�re grateful that she�s there
No, you just push her away
and tell her she doesn�t care
That she couldn�t possibly
understand you brain
let alone understand
why you�re in so much pain.
No, you just push her away
And tell her she�s not listening
doesn�t hear a word you say
but you never stop to think
that she�s felt this same way
That you don�t care,
don�t understand,
that you�re never there
to offer a hand
But if there was a storm
she�d offer you cover
And you�d run for her warmth
though, to you, she�ll always be
your oblivious mother.
