for my mother dearest
who am i to judge
the deserving of an apology you may hold
so i am to say 'i am sorry'
for the last time, i hope
i am sorry, dearest mother
for you are ashamed of who i am
and i am sorry, mother dearest
for the only thing i am to be ashamed
is the act of shame that you show
but i am sorry, my loving mother
that will not be able to love me the way you do
and i am sorry, believe me mother
for to be ashamed of you
