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.
