worst case scenario

the pain of our separation strikes me weeks before it even happens

i long to be by her side always

she is not even here yet

and i can't stop crying

the bitterness in my heart for the people who have hurt me

doesn't seem to be able to let me forget today

most days i just want all of us to be happy

today i want revenge

i want justice

i want what was stolen from me

i want i want i want

i'm not saying i know what's right

i'm just saying i feel what's wrong

and i don't know how to deal with it

i don't feel like i can send her off

into that life without me

again

is that selfish?

am i being a self centered asshole for thinking

a child belongs with her mother?


too bad mom's broke.

too bad mom!

shoulda learned how to make money.

shoulda figured it out mom.


now if you're lucky

you'll get to see her again this summer


now go get a fucking job

dead beat mom


no one cares about your heart
even the ones that used to
are way too busy for you
now lie in the bed you made mom
this is what you get
this is what you get for being bad
this is what you get
this is what you get for breaking the rules

you better learn how to follow the rules mom

or it will get even tougher than this

dead beat fucking mom
