Mother Vs Daughter


People always try to tell me what to do

but what i want to know is 

who are you?

you gave me life...

thank you

''go wash the dishes''

''why dont you?''

''because im your mother''

''and im your daughter... whats that suppose to mean?''

If i was your mother and told you jump off a cliff

you'd ask me why

and i'd say... Because im your mother

i refuse to be told what to do

its my body, and i have a mind

i do what i want to do 

not what you tell me to 

Ask for a favor, and ill be more than glad

but if its a command, you better kiss my-

If you dont want to be told to do

then why should I?

Dont get the tittle mistaken 

there's a difference from what you are and who are

and what you are is a adult

and who you are is a human

so next time you tell me wash the dishes...

you better be taking out the trash too.
