OK, My mom and I had a fight - yes, we made up - but before that - I got to be editorial - in poetry! =]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My mom, with the green witch's casual, sour malice, can verbally kill. But she is easily deceived by disguise - my body is a mask. My submission is but a costume - my calm the offered lie. I detest my own pale, small, adolescent answers - my weakness.

Be patient with your mom because...well, she is your mom. But it won't be too long before you spread your wings and fly; you will remember the lessons your mom taught you, but you will make your own choices.

I know, I love my mom... but sometimes... We’ve made up now.. but if I’m upset I’ll usually write a poem =]
