Cell Phone

 cell phone

Walk around think I know it all
If I don’t I’ll look it up

Parents know nothing
Tell me what to do

God forbid say the wrong thing
Child chastising

Knowing in a piece of technology
Know nothing about being real

Pick em up put em in
Phone is out as soon as she’s in

Silence in the chamber
She saw something she wanted

Syllables leave her tongue
Don’t know who she is

Stranger in my life
How is this that

Walk with her pick a flower
Now she runs far from me

She used to giggle
And be carefree

Just stares and taps her phone
Being alone while so connected

Scrolls through the day
She is away from me

Love her with all my being
Please Ava come back to me
