I hate you, mother,
for making me eat vegetables
For teaching me hygiene
and to be a good person in a terrible world
I hate you, mother,
for gifting me life,
nurturing me with love
and training me to survive
I hate you, mother
for taking loving care of me
when I didn't deserve it,
when I rebelled and was cruel to you
I hate you, I would scream,
my childs anger erupting from puberty
I hate you, mother,
for setting the bar so high
I hate you, mother,
for setting the good example,
being the better person,
for dedicating your life to me
I hate you for being gone now
I hate you for being gone
I hate you for not being
I hate you with all my love; I hate you Mother
