Story of My Life

I kept it a secret for so long.
I kept it locked inside.
I wanted her to never know,
But it became impossible to hide.
Little did I know,
Soon it would all fall apart.
I would have no secrets left to conceal.
I wish I knew this from the start.
So one awful day,
I figured there's nothing left to lose.
So I told her what happens in my mind,
As she took a swig from her booze.
"You're fucking insane Madison.
I'm gonna have to send you away.
You're too fucked up Madison."
"No Mommy! Please let me stay!"
"I hope you'll be fucking happy
If I kill myself and die"
"No Mommy! That's not what I want!"
As I continued to cry.
"I'm sorry Mommy, I lied. My brain is just fine.
I guess I just wanted attention."
"Why do you want to make my life hell!" she says, gulping down her wine.
But my excuse was far from the truth.
I see things that aren't there.
It's too much pain to live another day,
And my mother doesn't care.
