When people say

“You look like your mother”

I smile

Because i have a piece of her

Everywhere I go.

She and I have a bond

I never want to lose.

But when people say

“I see your father in you”

I turn away

Not wanting them to see the pain.

I don’t want to be like him.

I want to love and support everyone

No matter their situations.

I am more like my mother than my father

So say my mother

Or I’ll leave

If you mention my father
