Mothers Daughter

Mother used to hit me
Tough love was her game
She said she never wanted a child to raise
It seemed my words were silent
More silent than the birds
She said children should be seen and not heard

But I won’t blame her
And I don’t hate her
For the pain that she gave to me
Cause she’s her mother’s daughter

Her mother was a little crazy in the brain
Manipulation was day to day
And the floor was stained rеd from beating her head
Against thе wall, against the wall, against the wall

I’m telling you this story, so you understand
Why I am the way that I am

Made up of the trauma, it’s heredity
My temper’s all my mother left to me

But I won’t blame her
And I don’t hate her
For the pain that she gave to me
Cause she’s her mother’s daughter
And I’m my mother’s daughter
And you are your mother’s daughter
