Mother, mother why have you caused me so much pain?  Why have you made me paid for your mistakes?
you bore me, yet you hate me because I remind you of my father who left you.

Mother, mother you have made me feel unwanted, unloved, unattractive
and unworthy, yet mother I am the very image of you.

Mother, mother how cruel of you to have beaten me and to have robbed me of my dignity.

Mother, mother as a child you ridiculed me in front of people.

Mother, mother you sided against me even when I was right.

Mother, mother I am who I am inspite of what you have done to me.

Mother, mother I will never be like you because I am one who longs to love,, nurture and encourage.

Mother, mother you forbade me to develop friendships with girls my own age.  I was a house prisoner, never to understand or appreciate the joy of having a true best friend.

Mother, mother I have forgiven you, yet my heart and soul still shiver with pain and anger whenever I have trouble making friends.  The unfulfilled little girl inside me tends to smother people too much, so people run away from me.

Mother, mother now that I am grown, married and with children, I have chosen to make a difference in their lives.  I will love, hug, kiss and encourage them.

Mother, mother I have relinquish all the pain and anquish you have caused me,  I am now free to discover my true identity, I am free to soar to new heights.
