Mother Dearest.

You don't see that it hurts me,
but this pain I cannot bare,
I want a mom that understands me,
a mom who truely cares,
someone who will put down a book and comfort me when I cry,
not someone who'll shake their head and judge me with a sigh,
I don't get the respect I should,
and you don't have a loving daughter by your side,
you look at me like others do and not as though I'm your child,
you say your trying to protect me or keep me from turning into them,
but what you don't see is that I'm the same as I've always been,
Your mind is set on one thing and no one can change your decision,
did I do something wrong or am I not worthy of your love,
please tell me I'm dying to know,
This tears me apart when you accuse me of something so hideously untrue,
so tell me mom why can't I be accepted by you.
