Monster-In-Law
The need to care,
Constantly there,
It appears out of thin air,
And it looks at you and dares
You to look away and not recognize your emotions.
But no matter how hard you try to fix
And twist
And turn your way out of it,
Its always there.
When one comes along
Who isn’t strong
And makes everything all wrong
You wonder how they can’t care
How they won’t care
And how they can survive.
With their world full of strife
That cuts you life a knife
And makes you insane within an inch of your life.
The definition of a mother in your world
Is not this image of this girl.
Who is twisted by sickness and greed
And many more evils that don’t let her succeed in life.
And as she ruins your perfect world of love
With her chaos and terror that rains down from above.
You look up and plea
And cry
And hate
And question the world what did you do to deserve this fate?
Just as you thought you had the stresses of the world under your control,
Under your grasp,
This terror of a mother comes out of the grass
And bites you like a poisonous snake.
And her fangs dig deep
Poisoning your heart of love
Into a black thing of hate.
And as the powers of good and evil battle,
They fight for the world’s attention
And you are stuck in this tug-of-war
That sickens you to think that this is now a permanent worry in your life.
And all you can do is hope
That love
Will conquer
All
