dear mom,
what do you see
when you look at me?
because surely
no mother has ever
looked at their daughter
with the disgust
that you have looked at me with
you give your cats
a life of luxury
yet treat your own family
like strangers
in your home
one day
when you are alone
with all of your cats
you will realize
that you once had a family
