tell me

By SubwayBoi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I know you've got answers, You just can't keep in. So mommy please tell me, I'm your closest kin. I know I'm just seven, But I'm growing quick. And still have questions, And I feel quite thick. Like why do the stars only shine certain nights? Is it something to do with those big city lights? And what do those signs mean that say "tits" and "cocks"? Why don't you give change to that man in that box? Just what do you mean when you say you "got laid"? We can't have ice cream? Did you not just get paid? When will Hell freeze right over? Is it soon? What are bars? And why are you pointing that finger at cars? If some people are bad, then why do they live? If the good are so good, then why won't they give? But why are there criminals walking out free? Must I really ask when I have to go pee? When somebody dies, are they gone? Should we grieve? Could you kindly explain why you made daddy leave? I just want some answers, And I want them soon. Maybe then I won't feel Like a giant buffoon. Can anyone answer? Can anyone, please? Will I spend all my lifetime With questions like these?:) Written March 28th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 05:27 PM PST   0 • 9
