not even as a child.
I took the treats in stride
and resisted my mother’s attempts
to mould me in her image.
I knew it would ruin me,
arrest my development,
curtail my growth,
my flowering.
So I was ready for you
when you tried.
You tried.
But by then
I knew who I was
and there was nothing
you could do
about it.
