Sixpence None The Richer, Why do you keep taunting me with memories?
I love my mother. So, so much.I have complained about her...I've called her crazy, insane, et cetera...et cetera...
But what are the words, if not teenage angst?
I wish I could do more. I wish I could have more. I wish I was trusted more. But I'm not.
I am not allowed to run around and do as I please, whenever I please. But, If my parents were to allow me to...what kind of parents would they really be?
My mom does go over the line on some things; I'm not allow to do much, at all. But, I am not being beaten, or chained to a wall. I live in a home with a family, broken but still whole. I have food to eat, clothes to wear, a bed to sleep in and heat to keep me warm while the snow falls outside my window in the winter. I have love. Over protection is merely one form of that love. But, beggars cannot be choosers, eh?
My mom went through a lot in her life. She is the way she is, because the people around her molded her to be that way. You can claim that everyone has choices in life... I myself use that line quite often... But, sometimes, those choices are very limited. My mom took what she had, threw it away, and did what she could to piece together the remnants of her tattered life.
You don't just get over the past. You don't get over being raped. You don't get over being beaten. You don't get over living in a loveless home. She may not be the strongest person in the world, or the sanest, but I will be damned if someone claims that she is not a good mother.
Because she is. She is MY mother. And I will love her until the end, no matter what.
So, here is to you Cheyenne...
take your accusations and screwed up concepts of what a mother, family, friends, and world should be and shove them up your ass. My mother is grand, no matter what you think.
