Are You My Mother?

I have Cheez-Itz stuck in my teeth and I haven’t seen the light of day for like 24 hours but I didn’t think this is how my life would be
I watched an episode of Dateline where they told the story of a lonely and malicious guy and he killed 3 members of his own family
I don’t think they were expecting anything
He was a scholarly student and went to church every week

Its hard to tell the truth but I won’t lie, this is the hardest part of being alive
They turned off all the lights because the bill wasn’t paid on time and we all know that this rotting corpse has died

And a soul cries out into the night
Have you seen my mother?
And a soul cries out into the night
Have you seen my mother?

And I wrote while on my knees
A confession to the gods about why I can’t seem to eat
And I found familiarity
In the words and phrases that had once been spoken to me
“Go get em kid, you’ve got all you need
Go take the world by storm and leave your mark on everything”
But I sat
And went back to sleep
And couldn’t get up in the morning
This is not news to me

And maybe I should just be a little more kind
