You say you love me
Then you twist my words
To fit your perfuct life

You tell me what to do
What to love
Who to be friends with
How to dress myself
You think you don’t need a reason
Because you are Mother
Or some kind of God

You say you’re always right
And that you gave me life
Because you carried me in your
Stomach for 9 months

But what about Father?
Is he nothing but a sperm donor?
What about my teachers?
Who teach me how to be myself
When your not here?
What about what I want?
Do I not have a say?
Is it not my life?
