Analysis of A Mathers Lies
Jacqueline Cofield 1991 (United states)
A mothers lies hide where she died
She died a million times inside those lies
A mother tried to hide behind her lies
Those many lies of her many lives
Could be tied to her daughter’s demise
A daughter finally rised
To dig through those lies
To unhide the lies
could save their lives
Breaking the ties
A mothers lies
Hold over her daughters life
