Even giving birth to you was a test
But soon you suckled on my breast
Felt like I was always being held to ransom
Forever misbehaving and throwing a tantrum
Never listened at school, didn’t seem to care
Teachers told me, you were their worst nightmare
Wouldn’t listen, you were disobedient, reckless and wild
Our local priest even called you “The Devils own child”
Then as a teenager you went completely off the rails
Now spent half your adult life in and out of several jails
My life’s been hell, really only myself that I’ve blamed
Find it hard to go out in public because I’m so ashamed
Say anything to you and you go off, like a thunderbolt
Been arrested so many times for vandalism and assault
Some days I wish I had taken some sort of birth control
Especially when you’re off your face on drugs and alcohol
Like there’s something missing, some sort of brain syndrome
Actually, I think you may be missing some vital chromosomes
Took you to doctors and psychologists, really tried my best
Sadly, I can’t stop thinking that I nursed a viper to my chest
So painful 😥
