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."
