You ask why were not best friends.... when all you did today was comment on every mistake I made Told me I had to fix my hair every time a strand got away saying it wasn't good enough In so many ways it meant I wasn't good enough you asked why I hated you.... when I've never left loved by you You told me I was being ridiculous 'after everything I've done for you' you started saying I didn't hear what came after, the tears welling in my eyes and burn clogging my throat just a loud buzz in my ear drums You told me I was in some sort of power house mood and couldn't be talked too.... but what if I've never been able to talk to you I just hid it better when I was younger? Your always saying how the things I do aren't me.... wow, you must really not know me the criticism is a lot weighting down on my shoulders but everything's fine I'll just roll my eyes I sometimes wonder how you don't see me crying every night in my bed? or if you know and just don't care? You must notice how your words could cut through steel? how every time you say something my eyes water? I want to apologize but it's not my fault everything hurts all the time but how am I supposed to let go when I learned from a very young age that being judged by your mother is the worse pain of all....
