The Role You Play dots

dots

-------------------------------------------

I can't stand to call you 'mom'
You never fit that definition
Always sleeping, hardly there
The variable in the equation
You say you love me, that you're proud
But those are only words in your script

Over and over again
You act like a mother
Playing your role to perfection
Never missing a line
Till you get tired of acting
And leave the show
No reason, no explanation

A constant cycle of love and hurt
You love us, then leave us
For year you hide your intentions
The abruptly fade away
Taking on your role of evil
Inflicting pain on all who love you
Breaking promises never forgotten

Over and over again
You act like a mother
Playing your role to perfection
Never missing a line
Till you get tired of acting
And leave the show
No reason, no explanation

I've loved you since I was born
Till the last time you left
Now all I feel for you is hate
You lied to me, to the family
You think life is a play
And you play us like puppets
We love you with all our hearts
But you continue to kill us
Acting like you love us to
Hiding the lie that really you don't

Over and over again
You act like a mother
Playing your role to perfection
Never missing a line
Till you get tired of acting
And leave the show
No reason, no explanation

Just because the hurt is familar
Doesn't mean that it's starts to dull
it gets sharper and shaper
Like a knife you stab into our giving hearts
A knife we can never pull out
No matter how many tears we cry
No matter how much we say we hate you
You still have power over us
Power to hurt us beyond all repair
Till now.

Over and over again
You act like a mother
Playing your role to perfection
Never missing a line
Till you get tired of acting
And leave the show
No reason, no explanation

parents are given so much power over the lives of their children and very rarely do they actually realise the way their choices effect the lives of their children. my mother has been married 4 times [i was a result of her second marriage] and my father is on his second marriage but married to quite a bitter woman who, despite the years that have passed, has not accepted me and my brother to be a real part of her life. she has the whole script thing going on but when she is drunk the truth comes out and its kinda hard and awkward to sit there and listen to her going on about her children and then the sacrifices she made for me and my brother... its all bollocks really..

i am sorry that this is the reality of your relationship with your mother. i know what it is to be disappointed by a parental figure. my father was always making promises that were never fulfilled and for the longest time i wouldnt believe anything anyne promised though thankfully i have come to a place where i have been able to move beyond the expectation to be let down and trust that not everyone is going to disappoint me. thing is... my father didnt intentionally set out to disappoint... his intentions were pure and noble... just the carry out of such intentions really never happened...
i am not saying this is the same as in your case though i do hope your mother isnt intentionally setting out to hurt you.

your repetition of your refrain like stanza made this piece take on a lyrical quality... im not sure whether thats a good thing or not...

There is so much hurt and anger in this...I hope someday your issues with your mom are resolved...

To have this much pain and anger at someone, especially someone like your mom...it's got to be agony...

"I can't stand to call you 'mom'
You never fit that definition
Always sleeping, hardly there
The variable in the equation
You say you love me, that you're proud
But those are only words in your script"

That part especially caught my attention...
