Mother and the Daughter
You never see my side
Always lining up against my pride
Never once asked to help
I feel like a dog always the one to yelp
I’ve learned not to let you see me cry
I know now it’s better not to try
You don’t care about my POV
Always think you’re above me
I don’t want to go out silently
But you make me go quietly
I can’t stand up to make my claim
You’re always ready to aim
Never asked for my opinion
I’m not some little minion
You twist my words
Pointing them back at me in thirds
Half of what you saying isn’t true
You always know how to make me blue
Never once stood in my shoes
I’ll forever sit on my bed in the blues
We are cat and mouse
Never listened to me, not an ounce
I never received your respect
You only saw from one aspect
I’ll never find the words to say
Always told to go away
You dismiss my every try
I’ll never ever cry
You try to break what can’t be broken
You’ll end up the one chosen
Chosen by God to be sent to h*ll
Tell him that your daughter wishes you well

A poem I wrote after getting into an argument with my mom about something that wasn't my fault. I tried to defend myself from the accusation and was told to stop talking back and how rude I was being to my family. I realize now that I need to try to get along and if that means losing my pride then that's what I'll have to do it, but I know it won't be easy.
