[hometext] => This is hypothetically about when I meet my biological mother who I haven't seen since I was two years old. It's pretty self explanitory

Will she look me in the eye and already know, Her eyes turning downcast, will she tell me to go? When I hold out my hand and tell her my name which of us takes the hurt and which takes the blame?

A way to meet her, who brought me into this world from whose corrupted, chaotic life I was hurled? To see the resemblance in her face and my own to let her decieve me, and let my truth be known?
