Isn't It Strange?

Isn't it strange?
"I will support my son!"
He claimed
"He can't help what spawned him!"
Before I left I was a queen
After I left I was a bitch
Before
And after
The children remember
Now
And then
We struggled for a while
No support
Not then
Not now
It's okay
The son doesn't want him
Around
Not then
Not now
It's okay
Mother is here
Everyday
Then
And now
Isn't it strange?
The lies he tells
Then
And now
