I'm up
Can't sleep
So I tried doing things to my hair
Unsuccessfully
So I decided I'll plait it and leave it there
I'm up
Can't sleep
Tears and frustration
Tears of frustration weep inside me
GOD knows I won't let it out
But I want to scream and shout out loud
Mother
And shout to her why aren't I enough that you'll let him go because I ask of you so
Because I hate it
It makes me uncomfortable
I hate it
You have now another son whom you cherish
It's more than that
He's good like my brother a great son
He does all these great things
He's another apple of your eye
I however take my place as daughter who
Wears you out
Can't you see?
I hate you talking to him because he's better than me
I had to breakup with him to set him free from me
I just wish you'd choose me over him
Pick me
I've done nothing to deserve you
But dammit I'm your daughter mom
Pick me
Pick me Mom
Pick Me
I know you have a great relationship and he's good son
But pick me
Even though we don't have a relationship
It hurts because we don't but you do with him
I guess the tables have turned
But that's not my fault to begin with
