pride
August 11, 2014
look, mama!
i’m writing! a poem, mama!
aren’t you proud
of me?
mama, why do you
look at me
like this?
mama,
aren’t you proud
of me?
you are looking
at me
like I am chewing gum
suck on the bottom
of your new shoes
but mama,
aren’t you proud
of me?
i want you to be
proud of me, mama.
i miss your smile,
i miss the way
you used to laugh, mama:
like jingle bells.
why aren’t you proud
of me?
