Living with my parents,
I became to see.
That I am not a waitress,
the way that they view me.
They tell me to cook them dinner
or bring them this and that.
I organize her wallet,
even feed the cat
I make them drinks, and clean the house
When all that is through
I began to ask “where’s my tip”
For all the things I do
Well she is my mother so I guess I kind of have to
I asked her
“What are you going to do when I move away”
and the answer she gave
“I guess, I will have to do it for myself again”

I liked this alot, it made me laugh. It reminds me of how my mother always said 'We don't need a dishwasher, we already have four.' (she had four children)
Keep up the good work!

This truly made me smile! I relate to it a lot, as I think anyone in the world do, because at times it is easy to feel like you're being taken for granted. Good job portraying this!

I love this. It should win!
I adore the way it subtlety rhymes and the flow is fantastic!
“What are you going to do when I move away”
