Locked Away

How can you lock me away?

Knowing the pain you caused me today.

How can you place me here?

Watching the flow of my every tear.

How can you look into my eyes with such disdain,

But not understand my pain?

How can you say I'm being rude?

Yet yell at me with the same attitude.

How can you say you understand?

Even thought the truth is clearly at hand.

How can you be my mother?

And then so quickly be some other?

How can you think it's fair?

You can be irritated but it's wrong for me to dare?

How can you ask me to be responsible?

When you're always yelling at me, when I've made no trouble.

How can you tell me I don't know when to stop?

When it's you who holds the riding crop.

Knowing the pain you caused me today,

How can you lock me away?
