Try Not to be


A lier

A thief

Anyone my mom woudlnt want to see me be

A slacker 

A bum

But look mom, thats already me

Out of all the things you thought me to be,

i learened none. 

The habit of washing my hands i have definetly done. 

That night i ran

I ran until i was far enough to not be caught

I washed off.

I washed off.

Of course im not a lier or thief never ma

I am simly a slacker and bum

Thats already me...
