Dear mother
Are you in the sun?
Are you in the shade?
Do you work?
Do you get paid?
Where do you go
When you won’t stay?
Are you the truth?
Or just a lie?
What do you do
When you get high?
Dear mother
My goddamn mother
It seems to me
My life you ignored
But what can I expect
Coming from a whore?
Did you forget
What children are for?
Dear mother
My goddamn mother
What’s it like
Just getting by?
Take a moment
And recognize
All you gave me
Was just a life
For everything else
I had to fight
I remember when
You met that guy
I was leaving school
And that long walk home
Only to find
You were gone
Dear mother
My goddamn mother
On a day that’s bright
I still want to cry
But for today
I decided to write
About all the things
Not done right
I hope for you
It’s a sleepless night
I pray that peace
You never find
I trust you have
An uneasy mind
Dear mother
My goddamn mother
I wrote this once while thinking about my mother. What a pity, as George Harrison would say.
Hugs Jason 🤗❤️
