An Arms Race
Why can't I be mad,
that I didn't get the childhood that you had?
I can't be tough.
Everything I've done for you isn't enough.
It pains me
that the blood I've bled stains you.
I'm a disgrace to you,
and I hate to break it to you,
but this isn't an arms race.
You decieve me.
Then you leave me.
And you expect me to believe you
When you say that you're through
With all the games that I'm so used to.
I can't be of use to you!
I'm amused,
when I'm accused that
the trust you gave me was abused.
What trust?
My heart's about to combust!
You're not a mom,
You're more like a bomb.
You blow up everything good in my life,
then you leave with 3 final words that cut through me like a butter knife.
"I love you."
How can you when you're sick of me?
I needed a mother,
but you were just like any other.
that I didn't get the childhood that you had?
I can't be tough.
Everything I've done for you isn't enough.
It pains me
that the blood I've bled stains you.
I'm a disgrace to you,
and I hate to break it to you,
but this isn't an arms race.
You decieve me.
Then you leave me.
And you expect me to believe you
When you say that you're through
With all the games that I'm so used to.
I can't be of use to you!

the trust you gave me was abused.
What trust?

If you can strip back the over-emotional, not that it's a dig you can write however you please but I think you've got a talent for words just try different topics. You know why does your mother annoy? or take a memory and explain it in detail. You've got a starting point here, there's only up.
