why don't you like me?

you love me unconditionally but you don't want to spend time with me 

I wish you liked me in the way you like my friends or our dogs 

dear mom I just want to live out my hopes and dreams and be free

but you only want me to get that degree

I want you to be proud of the woman I am becoming

instead you call me a liar and blame me for being a crier

I want to share my plans on how I am going to change the world with you

but in all honesty would you even care 

so I hide my truth in fear of rejection

you tell me to stop day fantasizing for my own protection 

I guess our hearts and minds will never really have a connection
