My mom and I are
Different
She is fine wine
And I'm soda
She is ballroom dancing
And I'm skateboard riding
She is fancy dresses
And I'm baggy jeans
I used to think we were complete opposites
Polar opposites
But when she holds me
When I cry
I realize how alike
We really are

I never really knew how much I am like my mom until I got dumped and my mom came to my rescue.
