I have to pretend to not care when I do

I Don't Care....I Care

by Monica Chaddick

I don't care if your friends want to help

I care that you act like I don't


I don't care that you take your time

I care that you act like it's my fault if you're late


I don't care that you want to do things yourself

I care that you blame me for not doing those things if you get hurt


I don't care that you need to find someone to blame

I care that you always blame me for everything


I don't care that you love the children you had to give up

I care that you resent me for something I had nothing to do with


I don't care that you need someone to blame

I care that it always has to be me


I don't care that you always need a ride somewhere

I care that you act like the car belongs to you


I don't care that you have numerous appointments

I care that you couldn't care less about mine


I don't care that you want to save your money

I care that you act like I squander mine


I don't care that you expect to be repaid

I care that I am the only one who has to repay you


I don't care that you have friends

I care that you rub my nose in it


I don't care that you have faults

I care that you refuse to admit to them


I don't care that you love other people

I care that you don't really seem to love me

No matter what I have ever done to try and help my mother, she isn't happy about it. She is quick to say that she gets no help, although I run myself ragged trying to help her with everything. Nothing is ever right, and everything is my fault. However, I can never act like it bothers me, because then I just want attention, or credit, or something.
