I love you
I do
but the truth is
I absolutely
hate
your mother
And i know it's not right to say but
if she died,
I'd be so happy
I'd laugh
And i'd try to hold you and comfort you
but i wouldn't mean it
In fact,
her passing would be like
a cleansing of the earth
A capitalist society free of
one less bitch
I hate her for everything she is
and everything she's been
I want to go up to her and tell her
"Yes
you are a horrible mother
yes it is your fault
that your son is a drug addict
and your other son
an armed robber
because you gave them away
to a man you knew wouldn't take care of them
The fact the he's your ex
is not an excuse
for your ignorance
because all you care about is yourself"
And shes never changed
shes never wrong
its everyone else
she cant understand anything that
she hasn't gone through herself
If it doesn't exist in her world
it doesn't exist at all
What kind of woman divorces her husband
because she thinks shes in the right
by making him get his own room
and calling him selfish.stupid and pathetic
for wanting to talk to his wife now and then
and get a show of affection through a hug or kiss
every now and then
and even though shes suffered from
severe anxiety
depression cant exist
in anyone
except herself
She wants pity from everyone
but when someone tries to go to her
for comfort or release
she tells them
they need to shut up
and just get over it
Shes kept you from school
and from getting a job outside of her workplace
because she doesn't want you to leave her
She ruined her husband
and expects you to take his place
She already has you on her mortgage
and wants you to clean up her life's mistakes
She would keep you from aspiring to anything
that takes you away
from being her home bred
house slave
And i have every intention
of taking you far away from her
marrying you
And making you go after your dreams
Because I love you and want the best for you
But I also want the satisfaction
because you being happy without her
will piss her off
because , you know,
she's such a good mother
I want her to go away
I never want to see her again
our children
will never be her grandchildren
she picks and chooses the ones she wants to see anyway
even though she only has 3
Shed rather go shopping
then buy a plane ticket to see them
I want to block her number from all our phones
and take our doors
and lock her out
of our lives completely
and when she dies
I want to forget her
Convince myself she was never there to begin with
Rejoicing in the fact
that we didn't let her
take us down
with her
Let her die in her own
Unhappiness
God knows,
She deserves it
