I tell you I feel so low that world would be better off if I wasn't here

But as usual you dismiss my pain telling me I'm exaggerating 

Cause no one's pain can be worse than yours

Cause no one's trauma can compare to what you went through 

You always gotta make me feel bad 

Always making me feel guilty for being low

Never believing I suffer too

Cause all attentions gotta be on you

Then you complain when I push you away

Refusing to depend on you 

Like a daughter should be able to 

If you don't focus on the negative you won't be depressed 

Talk to a different dr I never saw the signs for you to have that diagnosis.

You don't know what true childhood trauma is

But the thing is your so wrapped up in yourself 

How could you possibly know what I've suffered 

Claiming your a good mum

Do you even know the definition 

Now because of you I lock my pain and suffering away

Refusing to seek help I need 

Because you always dismissed my needs

I prefer to help those around me

Even though I'm drowning 

You made me this way 

I believe my feelings are invalid 

You claim I'm your daughter 

Your closest treasure 

But you don't even know me

And now you say I'm the reason

Yes I still call you mum

And my son talks with you often 

But we are just mere acquaintances 

Blood does not make you family
