My Mom Is

By Monay Harris

My mom is nice,

She cares for me,

She is like a flower,

But sometimes she is mean to me.

When I was crying, she said “be quiet!”

“Or you will be outside, and I will lock the door with a bang and a boom.”

The yelling that she did made me not want to listen,

I try to block her voice

So I put my my earphones in.

The beat of the door was so scary

But I remembered she was the head of the family.
