Mother Dearest

I wish we got along, I really do
and I routinely decide to try harder to get along
then she pisses me off or I piss her off
and no one is getting along
its so damn frustrating
why can't we just effing get along
its not like we have forever to make it work

I wonder if she is happy
its weird to think of my Mom as a person
someone other than just my Mom
who gets mad at the little things
the things that don't matter
so we aren't friends
