A Mother Knows
A mother knows, when you are frustrated from the little things of your hair not setting right to the important things, wondering why do I really need to go to school and will I ever get Math.
A mother knows when you are hurting as you lash out because you want everyone to understand your pain and what you’re working through it,
A mother knows when your heart is broken but mending as you cry away your frustration from the one who seems to play the victim in the pain that he helped create.
A mother knows that you have great friends around you who though may not always agree let you vent because it’s want you need to get past it.
A mother knows that that though you may not see it yet, you will be the stronger for this journey.
A mother knows because I’ve walked your path in another life.
