Dear Mother

Dear Mother,
I love you.
Shit happens
this much I know.
Dear Mother,
I have tried
to please you endlessly
but I have failed so much.
You want me to be
just like you,
you expect so much from me,
Oh I understand.
I know why you're so hard on me.
You want me to succeed.
Oh! How I appreciate that.
I will do my best.
Dearest Mother whom I adore...
Why can't we get along?
I implore.
Let's put our differences aside.
I'm trying so damn hard.
I'm trying to be the best I can be.
Dear Mother I will admit...
even though you differ from me,
You inspire me.
