As I look in the mirror it's not my face I see, But that of my mother who doesn't love me, No room, no room she cries, you must learn your place She never sees the fear and distress in my face, Well now I pretend I have a true place in life, As a mother, a grandmother and not least a wife, There are friends in my life and I pretend to belong, I try not to be weak, so hard to be strong. I no longer hope for what can never be mine, With that acceptance I'll get by just fine. There are times I think that I can beguile, But who am I kidding it's just a fake smile. I long to be loved for just me, who I am, But nobody knows me it's all been such a sham, My life has always been full of cheating lies, Is there anyone there who will hear my cries? I am as sad and alone now as I was at my birth, A life that hasn't and will never know worth. Is this how my miserable bad life will end, I guess for the rest of life I must pretend... |
