Mom

Sitting in the corner
Of a darkened room
Better stop my crying
My mom will be home soon
She’ll start asking questions
But she doesn’t really care
What’s going through her mind is
Will other people stare
She acts as though she listens
But her mind is somewhere else
Thinking what she’ll tell her friends
If ever they find out
The house has to be spotless
The family to be perfect
I have started to wonder
If it’s really worth it
She cares too much
What other people think and say
She better stop and ponder
Before her daughter slips away

What a strong message you got there...
So true, sometimes people are too stressed out from how the society is gonna look at them to notice the hurt of their loved ones.
Hope it's gonna turn out ok for you if it's about you and your mom.
