You say you know what it's like
And I believe you.
I can imagine you-
having to stifle your tears
So you parents won't hear
I can imagine your
Body, shaking with sobs
just because you're feeling 'a little sad'
But then I remember you-
Screaming at me,
Telling me I'm stupid, useless
I still remember the day
When you threw my bowl of cereal at the wall
And when I cried
And the milk trickled to the floor
But then you did something confusing
When I snuck back into the room
I saw the tears on your face,
As your cleaned up the shattered bowl
I saw the regret etched on your face
And started to love you again,
Fighting it the whole way.
I'm such a hypocrite.
So I went to my room
And sat
And read
And wrote
When you walked up the stairs
(And I knew it was you)
I turned off the lights and
Pretended to sleep.
You opened my door,
Just a crack
And whispered 'sorry'

Will u love the "u" u hide if I but call your name?
Will u quell the fear inside and never b the same?
Will u use the faith uve found 2 reshape the world around,
thru my sight and touch and sound in u and u in me?
if i were seven and my mother did that, she might as well of thrown the bowl at my face, she'd get violent if she got to that mad

And my mom isn't really that bad of a person. Her parents didn't set the best example, so she does her best.
