No way to treat your mother

I will not accept your scorn 
I will not be treated by you 
In this way, as you say of me…
I am not in the wrong 
I refuse to be held to your account 
Of the past few years 
You turn on me after all I’ve given 
You abuse me, blame me, block me 
No longer do you shock me 
I will not allow you to treat me thus
I am no longer a pawn 
To be played, pushed, shoved
You turn your back on me 
Then expect me to welcome you back 
No way! 
I will no longer accept your blame game!

Truth

My truth, I told
To this vow I hold 
But you cannot seem to see 
My views, nor do you see me 
Only your pain rules your mind 
How can being honest be unkind?
I retreat, without actually backing down 
Will not of this travesty, be a part
Until you look deep inside…
Finally realise, understand in kind 
You cannot be anything; but blind…
