Because I Love You


Not because you bought me pink Barbie Dolls Not because the bills on you at the mall Not because how you spoil me after all. Mom! Regardless of your painful disapproval for his different complexion Regardless of our disagreements led by your conservative opposition Regardless of the responsibilities, weighing my shoulders till destruction I am still holding on Because... I. Love. You.
