My Mother

As much as I try not to be
I am my mother.
I'm an exact replica,
From personality to looks.

I used to want to be her
When I was little.
Maybe I tried a little to hard to be her before I realized all the wrong she does.

She is pained.
She's been through things I've never even imagined going through.
So yes, I feel bad for her.
But she didn't give birth to children,
More so gave birth to her pain.

A distraction?
I'm not sure.
All I know is,
Generational trama continued into her kids.

Maybe that's why my childhood is a foggy memory I can't seem to remember even through all the light I try to shine through.
