" I was screaming my brains out
In a tongue no one could understand,
But you were there to comfort me.

I sought attention and created havoc,
Almost killing the life your brought a year later than I,
But you were there to calm me down.

I slammed doors, broke glass decorations,
I roamed the house like Charlie in the Factory,
But you were there to even things out.

I mocked your beliefs and invented some of my own,
I even left the sanctuary you made to be our second home,
And you were there disappointed, but you still accepted nonetheless.

I've gone against the three things you forbid me from doing:
Drinking, smoking and gambling,
But you were still there, only to advise and didn't take control. "

Though these works out to be mere words that seem to make no sense to anyone and are of no artistic value, but I'm sure you'd understand every phrase; every word used.

To mom: I love you.
