Sick Days

Remember when you used to beg me

to let you brush my hair?

And now I'm scared to ask.

I know you raised me to be independent,

take care of myself.

Am I being a child?

Yeah, probably.

But sometimes a girl

just wants her mommy.

But maybe I'm being emotional

I suppose it's silly to cry over spilt milk

and uneaten pie

No one ever told me life would be fair.

So after I'm done sniffling for myself

I'll brush my own hair.
