Who was she 
To do this to you? 
What right did she have 
To make your life hers, 
To shape your future through a 
Prism made, not from your dreams, 
But her own failures 
And disappointments. 
Who was she? 

No mother 
Owns their own children 
Strange as it may seem. 
They are caretakers, farmers, 
Not venture capitalists 
Staking future claim 
On their investments. 
That's not right. 

Who she was 
Turned into, at last 
What she did
