Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

You could swear she hates you
Her eyes glaring like flaming swords
Her gait bold and boasting undeniable authority
Though small in statue her tongue lashes out at you
With the intensity of a million pins digging at your skull

Your name from her mouth sounds like a curse you hate to hear
But which she suddenly loves to yell out with so much venom
As if to taunt you
Though you can see the top of her head
She seems to stand above all else

Suddenly steam is blowing from your ears
Your eyes become blood shot, red
Muscles become strung up ready to break
You are about to speak back or break down…

Then she smiles…Calls your name in the fondest ways
Sings to your ears your favorite songs
You try really really hard but the smile still surfaces
You can’t even detest yourself for smiling
She’s your mom
You could swear she loves you.
