Dear mom


I tell you about my insomnia. 

You say of course I don't have insomnia.


I tell you about my anxiety.
You tell me of course I don't have anxiety.


I say I don't like fish,

You say 'yes you do.'


I hint at my depression.

You call me a 'good girl.'


My throat starts swelling when I eat shrimp.

You say 'you're not really allergic.'


I take a benadryl.

But there is no pill

For the sympathy you'll never give me.
