Mom

You lied
You cheated
You took everything I had

My laugh
My smile
Even my dad

You said it'd be alright
But you were fucking him night

I didn't go with my friends to the movies to see
I was worried about making you angry

But you were too stoned to notice that I was breaking
Sleeping to heavily to hear my daily sobs shaking

Stacey was too busy trying to kill you for you to notice
That I was trying to kill me
Did I tell you he once beat me?

You were too busy fucking him and everyone else in the neighborhood
To know that my grades were not good

I can't do math very well
And I tried, can't you tell?
But it wasn't enough because I almost failed

You never took me to school if I missed my ride
You called the school, and lied

Saying I was sick and needed to rest
That day, Mom, I had the ISAT test

Even Nana came and took me away
You were unaware the pain

When people come and visit
You lied and joked
From all the crack you smoke

Getting doungnuts was a treat
Except you didn't get the right ones, and Stacey kicked you with his feet

I never drank Marigold Milk, anyway
Now I don't because it was your crackpipe that day

To this day, you'll never know
I have all this anger, and nowhere to go
