for so long have I known
the truth of my mother
in my younger self's diary
have I written the truth
that she does not love me
at least, not as she should
she yells and screams
and all that I do
seems to anger her ever so much
she loves my brother
he can do wrong
but I
I do everything wrong
I do nothing right
for she yells and yells and only does she yell
I hate it
and I hate me
and I cannot wait
simply cannot wait
till I leave this wretched place
