Todays my birthday,
I just thought you should know.

17 years,
I been here,
I've loved and been loved.
I've fought,
I've won and lost.
I've been a parent to you,
When you came home drunk,
when you were sick,
when you got beaten,
I cooked and cleaned,
Stayed strong.

But for the last four years you haven't been here,
You hate your own daughter,
how could you after all you put me through.
I take care of your son,
I fought for you,
I cried for you,
I've given you chances to be here,
but you cant even pick up a phone and say happy birthday.

I bet you dont even remeber,
your probably drunk or high,
and all I ever wanted from you was for you to be sober.
Every girl has there mother,
but me I have a Colleen.

Awww..., this made me cry so much. This is exactly like my past. My mom almost always came home drunk and I had to take care of her and my brother. Great write.

So cut me into pieces and tape me into something beautiful...
