not

My child hates me, finds me a prude.

I try to be in ...  but I know I am not "Cool"

 

My guise is spoiled, she things me a fool

I am an old lady who only annoys her and a tool

 

I ride you around give you money and false claim

You pretend you care and that I am not in pain

 

I yet I go on pretending that I dont feel the same

I am not in the loop of your emotion , cut out and in vein

 

I only wished to be a part of the game, instead, I am lame

The others you let in they are "cool" and I hang my head in shame

wow this poem speaks volume of a relationship between mother & daughter, especially when the daughter is a teenager. this is wonderfully written & i love the flow. your daughter will grow wiser with age, & realize the person you are, and realize the immense love between a parent & child. but for now, don't be discouraged that you are not 'cool', one day she will want you in her world. very good read.

All teenagers thinks that their parents are fools because they know it all. My daughter is having the same problem with her seventeen year old son. The only thing is that she doesn't remember herself at the same age, but I do. Good poem
