Learn to Lead

"Do better" I hear my mom say
but what does her better look like?

Does better mean that I keep my curfew?
Or maybe better means to stay home on school nights.

"Do better because you know better" is what I hear.
She's not showing me what's better only constantly yelling in my ear.

"Act like you've got some sense. You know what I told you to do."
But mama, I say, I've learned from watching you.

YOU know better mama, but you do exactly as you please.
Expecting different from me means that YOU have to learn to lead.
