I Should Know

You’re worthless; you’re nothing.

Don’t you know that by now?

You can barely do algebra

Are you proud of yourself?

You shouldn’t be.

That dress looks terrible.

I’m you mother; I should know.

Have you considered working out?

Do you want to be that fat your whole life?

Do you think that you’re smart?

Just shut up! No one is listening to your blabbering.

I started working out after you said that.

Do you see my improvement?

I don’t want to eat anymore.

Am I losing weight yet?

I got an A in algebra.

Are you proud of me now?

I stop talking so much. It’s just blabbering.

Am I making you happy?

No.

Are YOU making ME happy?

You’re my mother; you should know

This is not the way it should be.

I like to work out, I like my curves, I like my grades, I like my words, I like me.

Why aren’t you a better mother to me?
