To You From Me

Stupid, foolish teenager
Naïve, inexperienced
In the matters of the world
How could you possibly know
Anything about being me?
It’s harder than you’d think
You couldn’t do the job
Of paying bills and raising kids
But I’d like to see you try
And fail in the process
I’m bitter that your life
Is going somewhere
Exactly where mine didn’t
Kids mess up everything
I had plans for myself
For my life alone
But then you came along
You ruined my life
Now I try to ruin yours
In other, more discreet,
Intentional ways
I know you had no control over being born
What I don’t know is that you wish
You never had been
Well I wish that too sometimes
You and I have common ground
Does it make me a bad mother
If I want my life back?
Or does it just make me
Someone who missed her calling?
I’m living with the results
Of my bad decision-making and
Trying to save you from becoming me.
