Smiling, laughing, so bubbly...
That is what they see -
It’s such a masquerade.
Your anger, your bitterness...
Where does it come from?
Where will it lead?
The accusations, the mistrust...
Always mad at me -
Can you not just love?
So much, you have...
If you only knew -
Why must you be so discontent?
The future, I fear...
Will be much the same -
Lashing out, attacking the ones who love you.
Allow me to be human...
No one is perfect -
I’m still a good person.
A mother who loves you...
You’re a part of me -
My love will never cease.
I’m not such a bad person.
Why can’t you love me?
I really need you to.
