A Mother's Love
Because you loved me, you told me to lose weight
You loved my hair long, when I wanted to cut it short
You loved my perfect grades, when I was struggling to keep up
Because you loved me, it was more important to spend time with family than to have friends
You loved teaching me to drive, when I hated it and cried
You loved shopping for clothes, when you didn’t like anything I tried on
You loved skinny,
You loved smart.
You loved a perfect daughter,
Because you didn’t love me.
