aren't you tired
of the screams
that's been filling
this house?don't you want to
love?
can't you love?oh mom
why do you have to make me
so damn worried
why can't you have a friend
to rely on
why can't you
find a job
to rely onoh mom
don't you see
how scared i am
for us
for youoh mom
pleasejust leave him
without having me
worried
that you won't have a roof over your head
when night comes– scared to death for you
