Go Ahead Mother


Go ahead:

Treat me the way you do.(you always do anyway)
Make me earn what I want. ( I know it’s good for me)

Set extra rules.  (they make me stronger)
Even though I beg,

don’t let me go to those absurd parties. (I’m so glad you know better)
Like you say:

I have homework to do. (I already know that you hate procrastinators)
Take away my cell phone,

punish me  for my mistakes. (can't believe I just said this)
And don’t feel bad at the end of the day when you see me cry! (It's all a technique)
Don’t feel like you’re a bad mother! (You’re definitely not)
Trust me all the lessons you give me, impact my life.
You’ve made me learn how to turn a mistake into something great.
Dont stop your great job because at the end of the day,

I owe you all my success! (now I feel in debt)
