Mother Dearest

Things needed by humans,

in order to thrive.

Yet thriving is not crucial,

for one to survive.

Love me.

See me.

Just call out my name.

I'd move moutains for you,

I'd silence the rain.

A pleaser I'll be,

for your ounces of affection.

Even though providing love,

was never your intention.

I will jump for you.

I am at your comand.

Though you'd watch me drown,

while you sit on dry land.

Maybe i'm confused,

maybe love isn't this way.

But, you were my lifeline

and with my life, you did play.

No longer a puppet,

I own my own brain.

For the agony you placed on me,

I wish you just the same.

The future is mine,

I'm free at last.

I'll be forever thankful,

For your home,

in my past.
