To Mum And Dad

I m not a parent so to understand is hard for me
Your children don t speak and you can t see
That you can fall out with anyone you pick as a friend
But your sibling s can Hurt you right til the end
They say blood is thicker than water
So I want to shout I m still your daughter
I love both of you in a very special way
But am sensitive to the words that you say
You can make me smile and laugh out loud
And of you I m protectively proud
I guess you will never be totally at ease
As I can t forgive my brother so please
Let me be your child youngest of two
Who will forever look out for the both of you
I ll visit and cook and garden and care
I ll keep close by phone if I ve gone somewhere
I ll be there to enjoy your moods every one
But don t ask me to share them with your son
For the past makes us what we are today
And I know you d not like what I could say
So keep seeing him for his good side is fine
And try to accept the best side of mine
We both love you of that there is no doubt
But this is not the problem it's not what it's about
You have to stop making me feel I m to blame
For our problems have longevity and I know he feels the same
The difference is confidence and he has a lot
Even probably my share he got
For he can turn up and be all cool
Making me look like an overeacting fool
I m sorry I ve seemed to let you down again
Believe me when I say that it's not just you in pain
I ll continue to seek your approval, it's my way
And I will love you unconditionally that's all I got left to say x.
