Indie music

Hi everyone,
I wrote some idie lyrics, and I was wondering what you all think and how I could improve them.

When I got back from school,
my mum was in the hall.
She said I looked a mess
look at the way, how I dress.

But I couldn’t really care,
about what I wear
Finally my mum’s come home,
for months and months I’ve been alone.

But she left me in a time of need,
and on the inside, I did bleed.
All, I did was let her know
that being away only brought us woe

(Instrumental)

I was taken aback,
she gave me a big, big slap,
told me I was bad,
but really she was just very glad.

(short Instrumental)

to be back

(short Instrumental)

to be back

Hey welcome to YWS!

This doesn't flow for me at all. 'look at the way I dress' would still flow with the rhythm and sound a littler better. Also, in the lines before it, the mom is saying he/she looks like a mess but then it jumps to h/s talking about their clothes. Are they backing up what the mother thinks? Or is the mom saying this?

I would stick a 'because' either right after the 'wear' or right before the 'Finally'.

Good showing of emotion. Show me more!

Rhyme/Rhythm:
The rhyme on this really bothered me with the simple AABB the whole way through. It got really predictable and boring. Rhyming is okay, obviously, a lot of songs rhyme, but they don't have to rhyme. I'm not much of a rhyme-smith so I don't do a lot of rhyming in my songs but maybe you really like rhyming, I don't know. If you really want to make it rhyme, use different rhyme schemes throughout, or maybe don't even follow a scheme, just go for it
Rhythm wise, I could feel the rhythm, but I couldn't feel it in means of a song. Like, I couldn't hear the song playing in my head as I read it. Maybe you can, I don't know.

Topic/Overall:
The topic was interesting, I liked it. I think you could expand more. Make the stanzas longer, maybe include more of them. I don't really feel anything when I read this song and I think it has the potential to be really powerful.

PM me if you have any questions or need anything!

OK. I didnt really understand it all.

for instance, you stated your mom was in the hall. then a couple lines later shes been gone a long time? where was she? did she leave you emotionally,or physically leave?

Also here, i think you should have switched these lines:

I was taken aback,
she gave me a big, big slap,

Were you taken aback by her slap? or something else? and why did she slap you,anyways?

I dont really know what this song is about. i get the bad relationship between mom and daughter,
but what are you trying to say?

overall good song,just needs a little more work is all.keep trying!

thankyou everyone for your comments so far, you have all been really helpful, I really appriciate it.
