Common vs Real
Tenderly, loving and caring
Is this the common image
for a mother? Yes, but what about
the things that are on the "real"
image of a mother?
A mother can be hateful, cruel,
and doesn't care what their kid
thinks. On the otherhand they might
just be in the middle.
Mothers have a real image
Their real image is that no matter
who is around they act the same
just as they would when only family is around.
Don't be fooled by the common
image of amother, hang around long
enough and reveal the truth.

thank you. My mother started doing drugs after my second little brother was born (1999). After that she was in and out of mental hospitals.
