Searching for poems about rage against one's mother

Along the lines of "Daddy". I would really love today to read some poetic articulations of the particular rage and betrayal suffered by some children at the hands of their mothers. Looking for a little artistic catharsis. Thanks.

The second of these poems might help.

Plath did not like her mother. Her poems the Disquieting Muse and Medusa are about Aurelia Plath, as is the novel The Bell Jar.

This one, by my sister, rises at least to acute resentment.
