Only When She's Sober

Only when she is sober

Does she care

About me, finances, anything

Only when she is sober

Does she notice

The scars on my wrist, the scars on my heart

Only when she is sober

Does she realize

The pain she causes

And whenever my mother drinks

She gets angry

She gets loud

She gets physical

Whenever my mother drinks

I do everything wrong

I get yelled at

I get hit

 

My mother is rarely sober
