_{She's a rebel without a cause,
claiming her mothers suffocating care
to be the problem behind all of her troubles.

The congregation watches,
their steady eyes searching-
for anything less than perfection.
That's their favorite hobby,
right next to pinching the chubby cheeks
of newborn infants.

She goes out on Friday nights,
never making an appearance until Sunday morning.
She dresses in her best,
brushes her hair,
wiping away the tears
as her mother screams words
she no longer cares to hear.

Although, if you looked closely enough,
you would see the pain
threaded in her baby blue eyes,
wind storms willing alway all evidence.}
