NOT FAIR?

NOT FAIR?

WANTing dreams, hopes, wishes 
She expected so much from me - for me -
TOO MUCH!
She wanted her dreams to be fulfilled by me 
BUT IS that FAIR?
Am I not my OWN person
She gave me LIFE!
Does she OWN that life?
Is it hers?
Am I not allowed to dream my own dreams?
Am I the puppet, pulled and dragged by her strings?
Am I allowed to dream?
Am I wrong for wanting MORE?
Am I wanting TOO MUCH?
Is that FAIR?
It hurts
EVERYTHING hurts
Is it supposed to?
I'm sorry!
I guess we are alike that way
Wanting too much- EXPECTING something else
I hurt her, she hurts me 
I am her disappointment, she is mine 
I don't mean to, we're just too different 
I don't want to HURT her but I do
I know she doesn't want to hurt me 
But she does
I have to leave! It's better that way
I am NOT changing for her 
She won't change for me 
Stubborn!
Both of us loaded 
Only one of us will make it if I don't leave 
It's not FAIR
I have to leave, I can't do it, it's too much
I don't want to hurt her but I will if she gets in the way
She doesn't want to hurt me But she will if I get in her way 
It's NOT FAIR!
How's that FAIR?

Sounds like an emotional struggle with your mum, my youngest and I clash a lot and she is only 11, we are both stubborn fire signs , Leo
As Long as the understanding of love for each other is there, you can get through anything
~ mother's worry a lot, they mean well, wasn't till I became a mum 13 years ago, that I totally understood what it was like in my mum's shoes, I put her through a little hell
All I needed was a little more space,
Great write sweet burning ember
Much love nardine xox.
