Mom said, no, I said, why?
She told me not to cry
Tears came down, I said, please
She told me to get off my knees
I said, I had to, She said, Oh
I said, I need to, She said, So.
I said, Try to sympathize.
She said, No, to no surprise.
I said, later? She said, No.
I said I'd run away, she said, Go.
I said, maybe?, Then I asked again.
She was silent, so I said, When?
She said I was just a pest,
So I called Daddy and he said, yes.
