When Things Are Going Right, They Go Left

All throughout my life
Things have gone left
When they seem so right
Things have always
Always
Gone so right
Just to go left even further
I get a B instead of a D
When mom should be proud
She says why isn't it an A?
My parents stop fighting
And I think we'll be okay
Then they have a bigger fight
I get a dog
That I love to death
He accidentally knocks down my mom
And now I have to give him up
I get into college
But no where near the one I want
I am the "favorite" of my mother
She expects the most of me
And is even more disappointed
When I show that I'm only human
I reconnect with an old friend
Even more than I did before
And he's leaving for college
That's four hours away
I talk to mom about myself
She thinks I'm self-centered
And odd
I tell my friend I like someone
For the first time, in a long time
She encourages me
She tells him
Laughs with him
And dates him
I try to talk about things that matter
And cry because it hurts
I am called a drama queen
And annoying
Always
Always
When things are going right
They go left
