Me and Mom
We don't get on
She says right
I say move along

We have different values
Opposing mindsets
With conflicts
But she will always be my safety net

My mom she's protective
And I'm like a hyper bird
Running before I walk
Talking without thinking first

I chase dead ends
Flying down the highway
Trusting the traffic of people
Who've tried and tested

But my mom she knows
Has a special radar
Which glows
An intuition that later shows

That's not for you my child
Your heart won't find ease
Yet still I plead
Mom please

So she keeps firm her hold
At times tugs back
A sharp whiplash
To keep me on track

I remember when she said
I don't quite like
That friend of yours
Mark my words

Not long after
A lesson was to be learnt
That friend ashamed
And let me take the blame

Moms have wisdom
Of paths they didn't choose
A time they never knew
Always thinking the best for you
