What I Don't Understand

What I don't understand

is how this could be

how you could hold so much hatred

for a girl such as me

what I don't understand

is why it still makes me cry

when I think of all your abuse

how you built my life on lies

What I don't understand

is why I still care

when you call me all these things

fill me up with such despair

What I don't understand

is how you're a mother

you only care about yourself

don't give thought to another

I don't get it, I never will

and I don't know where we stand

why you gave birth to children you hate

is what I don't understand
