Both Ways

Addressed to: Everyone


You rant and rave and scream and cry
Life's unjust, you don't know why
Blame your husband, or blame me
It goes both ways but you don't see

Your shouts are ringing in my ears
Your anger shines amidst your tears
It scares me how you look at me
It goes both ways but you don't see

Forget me, hurt me, now and then
You're apologizing yet again
If there is something wrong in me
It goes both ways but you don't see

I do my best and don't succeed
Your disappointment makes me bleed
I'm not what you want me to be
It goes both ways but you don't see

My heart and mind continue to sink
As day after day, I worry and think
What my own mother sees when she looks at me
It goes both ways but you don't see

-Lemon

Penned by my hand on the 14th of Ero, in the year 262 AF.
