___________
Mom, I'm tired
Can I sleep in your house tonight?
Mom, is it alright
If I stay for a year or two?
Mom, I'll be quiet
It would be just to sleep at night
And I'll leave once I figure out
How to pay for my own life too
Mom, would you wash my back?
This once, and then we can forget
And I'll leave what I'm chasing
For the other girls to pursue
Mom, am I still young?
Can I dream for a few months more?

To beg to be loved is the lowest form of human desperation-to be so hungry for validation and warmth that you basically beg on your knees for the most basic human interaction-that is sad. But it’s the most human interaction you can ever experience.

"The hatred for the word mother is so sweet. You can hate everything related to it: mother tongue, mother's hometown, motherhood, everything. but then you say mom, and you're six years old again, standing at the foot of her bed, waiting for her to open the covers, let you in, and ask you about your misery. you know ,before she became a part of it." for me it's the "and i'll leave what i'm chasing for the other girls to pursue" It reminds me that my dreams weren't rare and i couldn't be the one in a million. and now i have to do what everybody does, and i need reassurance about not being too old to start again.

this is kinda dumb but I'm 16 and since I got my highschool diploma early my mom gave me two options: get a a job or go to college. Right now I don't really feel ready enough to do either of those and it's not because I'm lazy, I'm just not ready to grow up yet. I know that once I leave the life that I have behind I'll never get it back.

[@StrawberryJellyMeow]

No it’s not dumb because you’re still young and deserve those extra years to be a kid... I’m so sorry. I hope you can get the time to be young that you deserve.

[@yogurtman15]

I'm only 19, but I always feel like everything is falling apart, like I'll be homeless tomorrow. my mother abandoned me, scolding me and devaluing my efforts. She doesn’t understand at all that even getting out of bed is an achievement for me. I feel trampled, humiliated and useless. I really need her support, I really want to be her child again, at least for a little while. I really want her to hug me again and tell me that everything will be okay. I want to feel calm and warmth in her arms, but I am forced to frantically look for ways to earn money, although I don’t know how to do anything that would help me earn money. all these anxious thoughts always lead me to the decision to die. I know that I can’t and don’t know how to do anything in this life. I'm useless, I'm just a little child in an adult body. incapable, helpless and stupid.

[@jermfanaccount]

(mild spoilers!!) this song really reminds me of Kris from Deltarune for some strange reason. this really has that feeling of having a breakdown over a lack of freedom, a lack of true identity, the need for security in a life where you're merely a puppet to this random-ass soul that suddenly started taking control of all of your decisions. the guitair chords remind me not only of general teenage angst and struggles, but the long, dragging sensation of living a life that is no longer yours that Kris feels probably daily. they're scared, they're tired, no one else really understands them, they just want everything to go back to the way it was before this all happened. "Mom, am I still young? Can I dream for a few months more?" reminds me of how everything seems to be better in the dark world and how Kris punctures the floor with their knife at the end of Chapter 2 in a fit of desperation. this song sounds so exhausted, drained, desperate and intense, just like Kris.

[@loretta2539]

this just hits me few ways.. 1. Missing when my mom had those moments she was actually a mom to me and wanting to do anything to get another glimpse of that 2. saddness.. finally seeing, understanding the way my mom was/ is. Sad to know what she went through but also sad that she will never overcome it. 3. I don't want to be the same mom for my daughter... but sometimes it feels like it's all I know and I've failed my daughter

[@CountFreakulaOFC]

Me and my mother had a great relationship then it just got toxic way too quick and I was forced to grow up fast

[@hypnos4350]

When u just want to be emotionally comforted by your mom but she isn't emotonally available and you just don't know how to ask for it

[@Hangelxver]

'Mom, am i still young? Can I dream for a few months more? ' this hits different when you know that your 'still young' but old enough to not need constant attention. I'm twelve and my mom has been diagnosed with a type of cancer, she has multiple disorders tgat are deterrating her health. As much as I don't completly agree with ahat she's done to me, she's the one who raised me. I dont know if she's going to be alright, i really want her to be but I dont think she's going to be well in the next 2 years for example. It hurts when no one knows. I can't tell my friends, i don't have any. It really hurts when I don't have friends when I'm in yr 7 and there's no one to help me around with. I have to constantly pretend I have friends so my family doesn't worry I might get bad again, I am though and I'm failing in everything I usually excel at. I'm so tired and sometimes think of painless ways I can go, I wonder if anyone would even notice sometimes. It hurts. It really does. I don't know how much longer j can be like this before it doesn't become thought about suicide or self harm. I'm twelve, sometimes I think I'm different. I can not be like the other kids and again, it hurts so much to see.

This song truly explains how I feel right there omg

[@imthefishandshesmygills]

This song makes me wanna bawl my eyes out, but my tears don't fall. I can't recognize my mom anymore, even the words "I love you" feel so flat. I resent her for all the shit she made me and my siblings go through, all the abuse, yet I still can't find a way to stop loving her. This song just reminds me of the fact that under all the resentment and disappointment, I still want to be held by mom as I tuck myself into a ball. I still want her love, which is why I'm always looking for it with older women who treat me nicely. I still want to have the privilege of my mom being motherly towards me. For her to love me without the curses and regret she has for having me, for her to love me without grabbing whatever's closest to her and throwing it at me, I just want her love. Anyways this song tastes like fruitloop-flavored jollyranchers!😋

it’s so hard doing that because it often carries onto the rest of the family as they use you as an emotional punching bag, sadly this is really common but the silver lining is that if you have cousins or friends one or two will most likely share the same problem and you can help each other, even if that’s just distracting each other

I’m scared to be older, I’m young right now though I feel older I wish I had chosen to do better things when I was younger and acted more like a kid because now people except me to act a little mature because I should be even though I’m not. I used to do well in school and used to be some teachers best students and my parents thought I was a smart good child but now I’m getting bad grades and my parents yell at me all the time and though I wish they didn’t, I deserve it and they probably do what they should and I’m just being selfish and victimizing myself. I still cry for my mom even though she’s here though I’d never cry for her when she could hear me. I just want somebody to hug me and tell me everything’s going to be okay.
