"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!
