I Am Not You, Mom

Little part of you I am

But I am not you!

I do things your way

But do I really?

Because you are you

And I can’t ever be you!

You tied us all

No matter what

But here I am

Afraid of the looming gap!

Little part of you I am

But I am not you, mom!

You tried to give it all

But do I want to be you, mom?
