Sitting with Mine

Sitting with my mother

I realize how much I love her

sometimes

and when I don’t

it’s because I’m only

thinking of myself

not realizing that

she is my source

no matter how much

Mom gets

on my brain cells

driving me insane with

questions

I can’t understand the reason for

or

how many times I’ve already answered

did she forget

no

Mom’s never forget

they’re reminding you

of what you said

testing you

your resilience

that’s what Mom’s are for

it sometimes feels

like your nemesis

but your Mom is

the only one who will put a mirror

in front of your face

every time you get in front of hers

and insist that you remember

who you are

where you are

where you are supposed to be

where you should never be

and how to get there

even when Mom doesn’t know

she knows when something is not right

there’s no point in fighting

just smile and remember

your sitting with

yours
