A Mother’s Neglect

When a mother is never there
what in life is ever fair?
Believe in God, that is true
But the one I really need is you.
God does not abandon me
Mom, it wasn’t he.
There are conditions to your love
Not from God above
Mom, you have a chance
to do what’s right.
You’re too selfish to see the light.
Your daughter’s the victim, do you see?
Instead, you say it’s me.
I’m a child, is it my fault?
You have choices as an adult.
Can you know how I feel
Break the illusion that isn’t real.
You never intend to protect me
It really is not to be.
That monster, that man comes in the night
Mom, I can’t scream, I try to fight.
Where are you Mom? Why aren’t you here?
All these times it’s just not fair.
Mom, you throw me away
Is your illusion here to stay?
