My Bipolar Mother

Mom,

I love you.

But you just drive me crazy.

You're so bipolar and so funny.

You try to take all the credit,

When you know it's not true.

You get angry for no reason.

And it's hard to calm you down.

For a small woman like you,

You can hit like a man.

I'm pretty lucky that I wasn't dad.

Feeling your punches and kicks,

And pranks of salt with coffee.

You're such a clean-addict and a water-addict.

You have the funniest stories and your laugh is hilarious.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

But I just hate when you get angry.

Some of the things,

I have to confess,

Are not true.

You get me angry with the false things you say.

You try to keep me away from my hobby and passions.

When you know that you can never do that.

I hope you know that it's hard for me not to love you.

But sometimes you make me want to run away.

It's funny how you change.

You're first angry and then happy.

I don't know what to do or how to deal with you.

But you are one lovable Bipolar Mother.
