You say that you don't have to feed me
Or let me live in your house
Or pay for my school supplies
Or let me do art
Whenever you are upset
If you really hate me so much then get rid of me
You can't though
The family, the neighbors, your friends,
What would they think?
You're just a liar...
You do have to...
Just like I have to please you...
Because others are watching us,
As we play this game
Lying to each other
About the fine print
The hidden requirements of having a child
The things others watch for
What they rate your performance based on
We tolerate each other because we must
But if we didn't have to...
Would you?
