Poem For My Mother

I'm not the man
you thought
I could be
I fell way short
of your dreams
for me.

Hi Vince, how are you? It's okay if you're not the man your mother wants you to be, I am not the woman my mother wishes me to be either it's okay because there's still another life after, if u don't believe okay but there is still another life. Hope you check one of my poems.
