Mom, I am Only...
Mom, mom, look how high I am.
Mommy, watch me hold on the outside.
The escalator is such a slide!
MOM! MOM! It is too high!
Mom, I am only five.
Mom, they won’t play with me.
They left me in the dust,
Slammed the door on me.
They think I am a stinky musk.
Mom, I am only ten.
Mom, let me go;
But, secretly, I still need you
To sing me to sleep at night
And maybe run the show.
Mom, I am only fifteen.
Mom, you’re the best!
You formed the very best.
I will always do my best.
You keep telling me “That’s plenty.”
Yeah, I am only twenty.
Mommy, watch me hold on the outside.
The escalator is such a slide!
MOM! MOM! It is too high!
Mom, I am only five.
Mom, they won’t play with me.
They left me in the dust,
Slammed the door on me.
They think I am a stinky musk.
Mom, I am only ten.
Mom, let me go;
But, secretly, I still need you
To sing me to sleep at night
And maybe run the show.
Mom, I am only fifteen.
Mom, you’re the best!
You formed the very best.
I will always do my best.
You keep telling me “That’s plenty.”
Yeah, I am only twenty.

I like moving through years in my writes and showing the passage of time, allowing a message to come through, without directly stating it. I can see the influence of psychology in this. Enjoyable to contemplate.

Well I hope I learned something about the mind in 4 years of study. It is fun to dig deeper into concepts then what first meets the eye. Thank you for the comment.
