mother wanted to be a doctor,
mother wanted to be a lawyer.
mother wanted to be a nurse,
mother wanted to be a teacher.
mother lost it on a friday night,
mother woke up in the morning confused.
mother threw up in the sink,
mother understood it was you.
mother left her country,
mother came to America.
mother learned english in two years,
mother had you.
mother is made fun of daily for her accents,
mother is cheated out of her money at street vendors,
mother is underpaid,
mother is teary-eyed.
mother heard you skipped school,
mother threw a fit.
mother is evil, you thought.
mother is obsessive, you thought.
immigrant mother, wishing you have opportunities she never had.
