The Past (There’s No Place Like Home)
I am my mother’s daughter.
Constantly fighting my very nature
Can’t decide between safety and danger,
Love or money.
Taught not to want
To take it all in stride, status and leisure
Make one lazy bride.
Never known
A hard day’s work
In her life.
Father figures like fire:
What are you doing, what are you
Doing! What are you doing
With your life?
Whatever I want.
Not trying.
Just practicing
For when you die.
