I wish you knew me
But you never tried
You viewed me through your own
Judgmental, naive eyes
You say you know me
Better than any of the rest
After all, a mother should know
Her own daughter the best
But you don't know that I write poetry
Or that I smoke and gaze at the moon
Or how I met my best friend
Or how I had my first heartbreak last June
You don't know my favorite animal
Or what I want to be
Or why I don't believe in god
You've never once tried to see
But you claim you know me
That you've always tried
That you view me through your own
Loving, caring, Mother eyes
