the little girl came home from school
with a gold star on every completed homework assignment
her mom and dad would congratulate her
and cover her with kisses and sing praises to her
the girl, now not a kid anymore
came home with assignments that were completed, but without the same effort as before
her mom would ask her how her day was
and then forget about her
just like her dad did
she was older now, wiser you could say
the effort put into her work was small and she was surprised at her grades sometimes
the praising from her mother had disappeared
and stopped caring about her daughter
and the girl, who was once the sweet little child who got golden stars and kisses
now doesn't care at all
——
hi everyone!
all the love
