ODE TO AN OPRESSING MOTHER, by Melissa Slates Subscribe to rss feed for Melissa Slates

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY,
COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY.
ALTHOUGH I'M LOCKED INSIDE YOUR HELL,
ANOTHER PLACE MY MIND DOES DWELL.
MY CHILD LIKE MIND'S GONE OUT TO PLAY,
I'LL RETURN AGAIN SOME OTHER DAY.
I CLOSE MY EYES, AND THERE I AM,
IT'S LIKE MY OWN WONDERLAND.
WHEN I'M THERE I KNOW I'M FREE,
IT'S THE TIME WHEN I AM REALLY ME.
THE PERSON INSIDE YOU'LL NEVER KNOW,
THE PERSON I'M NOT ALLOWED TO SHOW.
YOU SAY YOU KNOW ME INSIDE OUT,
YOU'LL NEVER REALIZE WHAT I'M ABOUT.
THE PERFECT IMAGE IN YOUR MIND,
IS THE PERSON YOU WILL NEVER FIND.
STOP TRYING TO CHANGE ME,
I'M NOT LIKE YOU.
I'M THE LITTLE GIRL YOU NEVER KNEW!
