Mother Dearest

Mother Dearest, I learned something new today. I learned that I never want to end up like you.

Mother Dearest, when I am older, I never want to end up living alone with two kids, relying on the first person that offers to get into your pants.

Mother Dearest, I never want to end up with no friends like you, abandoned because of a false lifestyle.

Mother Dearest, I don't want to end up with a job I hate, that had just happened to slide across my unemployed desk.

Mother Dearest, when I grow up, I will spend time with my children. I will not be on the phone nonstop, and deny it.

Mother Dearest, I cannot tell you anything to your face. When I do, you deny it.

Mother Dearest, stop lying. It only did more damage.
