Tension through the Years
The relationship between
A daughter and a mom
Is one that begins with love and laughter
But then turns into a ticking time bomb
The smiles turn to anger
And the laughs change to yells
In those dreaded teenage years
It feels like you’re walking on eggshells
With the continued aging
Of a selfish daughter full of spite
Mom begins to believe
That every conversation will always be a fight
With college quickly approaching
Daughter can’t wait to leave the house
Mom knows that things will soon get better
So she stays quiet as a mouse
The first year of college
Has come and gone like a storm
And daughter begins to realize
That she needs to conform
With a new appreciation
For all the struggles Mom has gone through
To put her through college
And to take care of her as she grew
Daughter feels regret and sadness
For all the trouble she has caused
And for their strained relationship
Full of turmoil and flaws
Now she calls Mom
Each and everyday
To check up on her and talk
And to see if she can help in any sort of way
Growing up is hard to do
When you despise your number one fan
But now I am grown and have fixed things
To back as they began
