Mum I cannot hear you cry  
You are hidden deep in your lies  
Captive of your own emotions  
Lost in the black vast ocean  

You set a boat into that ocean  
With an innocent child  
A sturdy boat built with devotion  
To survive those waves running wild  

Mum I cannot hear you cry  
Over the tears that are mine  
In the darkness of the nights  
Lost in the already lost fights  

The child tried his best to steer the boat  
As he grew old with the years  
His hair and lungs got soaked  
With your blood and tears  

Mum I cannot hear you cry  
Lost in the ocean vast and wide  
The old ship one night might sink  
While the child's sea begins to shrink  
  
Backstory: dad was both emotionally and physically abusive. One day my mum would be the one defending me and the other the one that hits me too.
