"I'm not my mother." (a poem)

"I'm not my mother." written by Rome on 12/16/23

I see what I am now,
I don't like it.
I don't like me.

I look at myself in the mirror
And see my own mother,
Staring right back at me.
I'm another version of her.
I start to cry.

I'm not her,
I don't wanna be like her,
To hurt people.
That was never my wish.
But I can see,
Every time I shout,
Scream,
Cry,..

..I watch myself slowly get her habits.
How she loses control,
How she stares back as if to murder someone.
..But I stop myself,
Breaking down into tears each time And locking myself in my room.
As if a cage to lock a monster.

(sorry for any errors, i'm not used to using this.)
