Excellent I have to pretend to not care when I do I Don't Care....I Care by Monica Chaddick Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry

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   Author Notes 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.
