I tried to check up on her,
hoping she was alright.
But she hides with a joke
that doesn't even seem right.
She called me mom,
which wasn't funny 'cause in truth,
she hates her mom so bad.
She thinks she's selfish and cruel.
I tried not to think about it.
The way she replied to me.
But then in my chest I feel
like she was mocking my sincerity.
So is it wrong for me to care?
Is it wrong for me to worry?
If treating you like this is a bother,
I'll stop caring. Sorry.
If you think that treating someone
with concern makes you feel like a child,
then I'll gladly let you go
and not even bother to ask again...
"Are you alright?"
