Here's one that was ~not~ well received

Mother of the Year

Don’t tell me you love me
So you can throw it in my face

Don’t ask if I’m okay
So you can snide my choices

Don’t pat and smooth my hair
So you can pull at the tangles

Don’t look into my eyes
So you can see your reflection

Don’t teach me about sex
So you can demand abstinence

Don’t call me your daughter
So you can justify your life

I tasted the bitterness and pain in here. You brilliantly covered that.

Amen to that.

It annoys me to no end that no matter what she does, I will always keep that door open to her... only a little bit.

I recommend wall-papering her house with it for full effect. But that's just me.
