I used to be her little girl, her princess. Now Iām just another girl living in her home who happens to be her daughter. I wish it could go back to the days where we would laugh and run in our front yard. Now I have to lock myself in my room and hide myself from my mom. I canāt tell my mom my true self. Iām bisexual and go by she/he/they pronouns in a Christian conservative household. I failed her so much.she just wants me to be happy but her definition of happy isnāt the same as mine. I want to be accepted and loved no matter my sexuality, grades, attitude, personality. She wants me to get good grades, have decent friends, get married to the man of my dreams, and raise my children in the name of God. Everyday, I just want to yell at her and tell her about the amount of times Iāve considered killing myself. The amount of times Iāve had to convince myself that I canāt die yet and I need to live long and be happy. I just canāt anymore. I canāt live knowing Iām going to disappoint my mom. I canāt be who she wants me to be. I canāt be the perfect princess she wants. Iām so sorry

My mother threw me out when I reported her husband for abuse. She hasnāt spoken to me since. I miss her. We had a moment before it all happened that she looked me in the eyes and told me:
āDonāt make the same mistakes I did. Find someone who loves you dearly. Donāt be like me. Donāt settle. Do what makes you happy.ā
It was the last good thing she said to me.

kids with abusive/toxic mothers:
kids who grew up without their mothers:
kids who lost their mothers recently:
kids who have a great relationship with their mothers:
all aggressively handshake over this song just because it hurts for all of us in different ways
edit: all of you who responded with an add-on or resonated with this, all of you deserve love and kindness. Mothers can suck but we will get through this! Coping to Mitski!

I lived with my mom, begging for her attention and constantly crying, locked away in my room, and wishing she loved me. I wasn't allowed to go to school, I begged. I was neglected. I would have graduated in 2013. The last line screams of my realization that no matter how much I begged, as I grew older, I understood that she'd never change.

just absolutely lost it and sobbed in my car at 3 am over this. my mom kicked me out at 16 and we still dont talk three years later. this song encompasses the pure desperation i still feel today to have my mom be better. i almost texted this to her but didnāt out of fear of getting my heart ripped out of my chest again. if you have a mom that loves you unconditionally, hug her so tight

my mom is too good to me. i disappoint her every single day but she handles it with a smile. god she's so perfect and amazing but she deserves a better daughter. i don't know how she can wake up every day and face me and be so kind and perfect. i know she has to be screaming inside having to deal with me. i'm not suicidal and i never have been, i just wish i was a different person. i wish i could deserve her love.

mother, she was once a 19 year old like me. with all these dreams and hopes. now, she works till her bones break to get through each day.
long forgotten are her dreams now, locked in her heart somewhere deep, her small frame crushed under this boulder of responsibilities, duties. her shoulder shudders with compromise and sacrifice. this terrible, rotten play of fate. you know, i have always listened to this song from my perspective but now that i think of it from my mother's, it feels so bittersweet. i wanna cry. for the past her, present her and me.

i miss my childhood. i miss when i was small and light. i miss when i was happy. when i didnāt worry about dying. or getting hurt. or getting assaulted for being myself. i miss when i was gifted. when i was smart. when i could impress others. i miss when i could turn heads in a room. i miss when my parents made me a priority. i miss when i could have conversations without them turning into arguments or screaming matches. i miss when i had friends that cared about me, checked in on me. i miss when i had comfort. i miss it. i miss it. i want to go back. can you send me back? can i have a second try? i want to try again. i want to go back. i need to fix things. iām sorry. iām sorry. iām sorry.

Mom, I'm tired
Can I sleep in your house tonight?
Mom, is it alright
If I stay for a year or two?
Mom, Iāll be quiet
It would be just to sleep at night
And Iāll leave once I figure out
How to pay for my own life too
Mom, would you wash my back?
This once, and then we can forget
And Iāll leave what Iām chasing
For the other girls to pursue
Mom, am I still young?
Can I dream for a few months more?

I have such a strong relationship with my mom so this song doesnāt make me cry because I relate to it, it makes me cry because I think of it in my moms perspective. She got married at 19, moved to the U.S at 20 and got pregnant at 21. She would always tell me she never had a strong relationship with her mom so she always told herself when she would have a kid she would treat them like her best friend. But now that sheās getting older and is in her 40ās I started noticing sheās been calling her mom more, and wanting to see her. Once she came home completely drunk to the point where she couldnāt move. It was an accident, I know because she never drinks and Iāve never seen her drunk once, she didnāt eat that day and she had a couple shots of tequila and when you donāt eat it worsens the effect of alcohol. When she got home on the floor I heard her crying saying āI want to see my momā and it hurt me because there was nothing I could do about that as her daughter, I wish I could bring her mom here and they can see each other. Sometimes I feel like my mom regrets her life and her decisions, I know me being born wasnāt the cause of it but since I have such a strong connection with my mom it hurts me to see her feel this way, I just want her to be happy with her life

"Mom, am I still young? Can I dream for a few months more?" That line... I hate growing up
