The way you ask questions,

teetering on the edge

of every hour, 

stokes my wonders

of if you have 

an undiagnosed 

personality disorder. 

If you claim you're my mother

then tell me why 

you seem to be unscathed

by the DSM-V.

If the anxiety and irritability 

runs in my veins, 

like a cancer 

taking a hold of the reigns,

then you must be hiding,

and barely surviving, 

on the cliff 

of your mental sobriety. 

Though years have passed,

you can't fool me any longer,

because I see how 

you don't get along with others

or how your peace of mind 

is just a trap 

for holding yourself

behind. From a life

you could only ever dream of.
