"COLOR ME TOXIC"
You never fail to let me down
You taught me never to expect too much
Everyone is out for themselves alone, you said
And I thank you for teaching me hate, anger and fear.
Those demons were yours and you gave them to me
Please take them back and stay away from me.
Because you colored me toxic
You colored me black
Now my mind is gone
And will never be back.
You are my mother
My worst enemy
Do you feel bad for what you did to me?
Color me toxic
Color me black
Once you are gone
Don't ever come back.
There is no excuse and no turning back
You were never there for me as you should have been
I mourn for my mother, though not yet dead
You left your impression on my life
I'm a bad person, I think,
Because I Hate you
I really hate you!
Because you colored me toxic
You colored me black
So get out of my head
And never come back!
