Hope She's Wrong

My mom says that everyone uses me.

That I'm stupid for being there for them 24/7.

That they are smart and they know how to play me.

She says that one day, when I need them, they'll be busy.

That they'll say anything to get out of helping out.

That if I ever went to jail, no one would pay my bail.

That if I was only allowed one phone call, all lines would go to voicemail.

It's scary to swim in a tank full of sharks

But I'm sure it's worse to swim with

Sharks you first thought were dolphins.

So I hope my mom is spouting bullshit.

If she's not?
I'm dead.
