Mother.

I always pretend to be asleep when you get home.
Not because I don't want to talk to you
But because I don't to talk about the trivial things.

I want to tell you the things happening in my head.
My fears.
My secrets.
But I know you will just push them aside.
Make me doubt myself.

We don't have the relationship we both want
Because neither of us can relate to the other.

We see life a different way.
And that's okay.
After 23 years, I get it.
