Tavay's Two Voice Poem

Mom and Me

Me	Mom
She is always getting on me about my grades.
	I’m trying to help her out. It is important that she does well. She won’t get in to the college she wants if she doesn’t.
She is always worried about school.
	She does not understand that I just want her to do well.
She thinks I don’t understand, but I do.
	I love her and I just want to see her do well.
I guess she is just being a mom.
	I love her and just want her to be OK in life when she moves out.
I have to understand what she saying some times too, but it is really hard when she is always putting pressure on me.
She just wants to help.	I just want to help.
I can’t always get mad when she is talking about my grades.
	I can listen to her and let her figure it out on her own.
She won’t be here forever so I should appreciate her.
	I have to understand that one day she will be on her own and I won’t be able to be there all the time.
