Days

The days pass on
Like the silent ants
That ravage my mother's kitchen.

She kills them with poison
But they survive
Like the one person
That I absolutely hate.

A bad day stays long
And everything feels wrong
But I have to wait
Until the bitter hours end.

I don't understand
Why good people die young
And the bad people
Live long
Like those bad days.
Aren't there ways
To change that?

I don't know.
That's what my teacher tells me.
