    _"...every rejection is just a reflection of my own objection to my imperfection, and additionally my affection may seem suspicious and my perception a bit ambitious but its all a mass projection of my desire to live in and through you..."_
    Nailed it. This is a brilliant poem.

    Oh God. All I could think is I hope my (baby) daughter never writes a poem like this about me. Taking notes of what not to say/ do...

    Brilliant stuff. "If at first you don't succeed, TRY HARDER!!" I'm so getting into slam now.

    Mothers are human beings, just like everybody else. They make mistakes, they infuriate us, they contradict themselves, they are imperfect. Expecting perfection from a mother is the luxury of youth. Old age brings nostalgia and understanding. I miss my contradictory, imperfect, infuriating but one and only mother.

    You can be anything you want to be. Just make sure its within the specific guidelines of the parameters here to fore laid out within the circumference of the diameter and I’ll be waiting on the sidelines but make sure you read between the lines of what I don’t say out loud and then Ill be oh so proud….no matter what you do!

    You are so beautiful. Jut dont wear those clothes, get your hair out from behind your ears, strike a pose as I disclose, years of my fears, wisdom and woes highs and lows, becaus after all dear mother knows, best. You can tenaciously succeed oh yes you'll come out above the rest, but graciously concede the test of winning with a smile suppressed. When you win don’t gloat and when you lose don’t mope. If at first you don't succeed do better dont concede!

    yeaaa! sadly we cant perform our own original poems. you enter the contest reciting a slam poet's poem and you get judged based on performance and memorization. I think your poem is perfect for the contest! :)

    Because I’m your mother, and I love you without exception and oh just unconditionally and every rejection is just a reflection of my own objection to my imperfection, and additionally my affection may seem suspicious and my perception a bit ambitious but its all a mass projection of my desire to live in and through you, yes a bit capricious but please dear just know this....

  • @ModelforLove

    You’re perfect. I may yell and seem annoyed and disagree with you sometimes but its only for your greater good so listen up, is that understood, I never mean what I don’t say it just seems to come out that way which really doesn’t matter, hey! are you paying attention!

    You're allowed to enter with someone else's poetry? Thats so weird! Ummm let me know how I do?!?!

    Was it my advice you did not heed? Please follow as I lead you are the fawn I am the steed and when you breed, we will be agreed! If ive told you once I've told you twice, I told you thrice, does that not suffice? Ok ok it was the millionth time, but is it such a crime for me to chime in with my two cents? they're fairly common in my defence.

    I do not think I should explain the reasons why you must obtain from the undesirably mundane ideas you ascertain. Becase the failures of my past must not bite me in the ass so darling you must pass with a degree of class.. Oh my god...did you just pick your nose and eat it? I quit!
