October 20th
It was my mother’s birthday on the 20th
She texted me asking me if I was having a good day
And I told her I was working when I wasn’t
I was in a mood that day and went to work
My same routine everyday
Wide awake, depressed, feeling sorry for myself
I pretend and play the part everyone has for me
With a shit grin on my face I ask everyone how their day is
I remember it was my mother’s birthday
No wonder she texted me
I scrambled and texted her
I jump on prime and buy her a cheap kimono to replace the one she’s had since I was a kid
I buy her bath bombs
And I feel like a good child
I’m not
I go home
Tomorrow is another day.
