I find it amazing That I have to resort to this To express myself Putting pen to page Just to preserve my mental health You should have protected me Instead you subjected me To the kind of life a child shouldn't lead To the kind of things I shouldn't have seen It was always so hard to air out my grievances When no one who "cared" Ever cared to believe in them I once confessed to you The abuse I was subject to You said I was making it up Causing this feeling to develop It killed me inside So, I hid it for years Buried in lies Raised up by fear A flower blooms in my chest From the spot where it's buried Sprouting a vine that burdens the weight I carry And when I tried to turn it around To uproot the source and cast this weed out Dissenting words pour from your mouth I feel so fucking betrayed It feels as that you would never reciprocate (Reciprocate) The love and respect you demanded from me Mother's little boy forced to plant these seeds They must all die Before they can grow Each seed of doubt Tears away at my soul This Garden of Grief Grows in my stomach I'm lost in this hurt That I've begun to covet And the sickest part of me Has learned to love it I live and breathe in this thicket of depression Haunted by the loneliness Of my neglection And as this flower blooms And its nectar comes to bear You remind me again That my actions are not fair I'm constricted by these vines And how they squeeze contritely As anger accompanies my depression Masking it so tightly And though I realize Mental illness makes me suffer I still struggle with the fact That I do not love my mother My illness is not something that I'll just hide behind (Hide behind) After watching you act so justified (Justified) In excusing your actions as the world's worst mother (Worst mother) Always blaming your illness and never trying to recover (Recover) This garden of grief Grows in my stomach I'm lost in this hurt That I've begun to covet This garden of grief Grows in my stomach (Grows in my stomach) I'm lost in this hurt That I've begun to covet I won't let this cycle go on any longer I refuse to let the garden that I grew up in Be the cage that my children suffer Just because you refused to be my mother
