My efforts futile, heart in despair,
Rebel daughter, burden I bear.
Striving to please, but always fall short,
Leaving me wounded, my spirit caught.

Sell my life, sell my soul,
For a whisper of approval, to feel whole.
If my absence brings you peace, I'll go,
Though it shatters me, I'll let you know.

Mom, do you love me? Mom, do you miss?
Or am I just a burden, lost in abyss?
If your heart remains cold, it's okay,
For mine still beats, love won't sway.

Sell my life, sell my soul,
For a whisper of approval, to feel whole.
If my absence brings you peace, I'll go,
Though it shatters me, I'll let you know.

In the darkness, love's light still burns,
For you, dear mother, my heart yearns.
Even if unreturned, my love will stay,
Guiding me through each darkened day.
