Staying Free

Post by hockeychickkayla » Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:50 pm

Mama, why are you so cruel, what did I do to you
Mama, does it make you feel good to watch me tear up inside
I am shaking, I am crying, I feel like I can't pull through
All the cutting and the rage, I'm no good to you

I'm the daughter you never wanted, I'm the life that keeps you haunted
You said yourself I'm the thing you regret, I'm not dumb I'll never forget
The evil looks when you look at me, from you hate is all I see
So against your wishes I'm staying alive, for me I will survive
I hope you know I hate you too, staying in my room I hide from you
When I leave you'll say you miss me, I won't come back, I'll be staying free

Mama, why do you say you care, you were never there
Mama, does it make you feel scared that you don't even know me
I am troubled, I am different, I know you can't really see
All the pressure, and the damage, you have done to me

I'm the daughter you never wanted, I'm the life that keeps you haunted
You said yourself I'm the thing you regret, I'm not dumb I'll never forget
The evil looks when you look at me, from you hate is all I see
So against your wishes I'm staying alive, for me I will survive
I hope you know I hate you too, staying in my room I hide from you
When I leave you'll say you miss me, I won't come back, I'll be staying free

You don't love me
"I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best." -Walt Whitman
