mother does not care

mother does not care for imperfections

she reminds me as i bring the evening tea

mother does not care for imperfections

her face says it all as i get a C

mother does not care for imperfections

her words say as i miss a step (or maybe three)

mother does not care for imperfections

im sorry for second in the spelling bee

mother does not care for imperfections

maybe its something in my brain chemistry

mother does not care for imperfections

her hug is cold as i get my degree

mother does not care for imperfections

but what if that imperfection is me
