Mom & Dad

snowball fights and wrestling matches
screams and yells
words of anger and disappointment
thinking there is no love here

disagreements and arguments
differing opinions and political views
we do not get along
sometimes we hate each other

silent treatments
slamming doors
slaps on the wrist
nothing makes them proud

we do not get along
they do not understand you
you do not understand them
life is miserable

a phone call from mom
her voice is different
is she sick or is she crying?
i am proud of you

a text from dad
first ever text from dad
we are very proud of you
you are a caring person

it is not every day your parents are proud of you
it is not every day you feel loved
it is not every day you become an adult
created and molded by mom and dad
