He tells me that I can’t,

That I’m not Quite good enough.

That I was never taught;

But he doesn’t teach.

That I don’t Quite reach his standards of average.

He tells me that I could,

That He misses me and will come see me soon.

That I’m his Baby;

But doesn’t.

He tells me He Is proud and He Does miss us.

She tells me I can,

That I’m going to be everything She couldn’t be.

That she doesn’t regret me;

But couldn’t be because of me.

She tells me I can touch the stars and above.

They tell me i might be better than they could,

He says his life is ruined by children.

He says he life was ruined and left.

She says she ruined Hers.

They tell to be better than they could.
