Am I enough yet for you mother dearest?

"No," she says.

"Your failing this and that and your doing this and that!" She yells.

I have a good grade in that course

In that one

And that one

And that one

Why are you yelling mother dearest?

Am I enough for you mother dearest?

I'm stressed enough with work

That's why I do it on separate days

"Do it all at once!" She says.

Sending me the answers for assignments not due til later

Assignments I enjoy doing

Assignments I help others with

So I comply with her

I get off my game early and cut off my friends and lover

Then I go to bed in tears

Am I enough for you yet mother dearest?

I lay in bed

Crying myself to sleep

My body racking itself with sobs

Eventually drifting to sleep with a tear stained face

My head full of stress that I just got rid of

Still wondering

Am I enough for you yet mother dearest?
