Forgive Me
You see I am the reason that you will die
I came out of my mother with poison
Waiting to give to all of you in small proportion
Throwing the last bottle in the ocean
You see my mother cried when she found out that she was going to die
Trying her best to think of nothing less
As I stabbed her in the chest
Yes I heard what the doctors had to say but didn’t listen
All I could think about was what I could throw away and wouldn’t be missing
They say I let her loose to much blood
Blood as in color
Color as in that thing she cant see anymore because I threw my old cans at her all of a sudden
They say she will flood
And the glaciers will never return frozen
I cant swim so I hope the doctors will give me a warning
I got the animals singing “Its getting hot in here”
But I don’t care
Shes going to die anyways
Maybe because I played “Gasolina” to much in her air
I watch her go high into the sky
Hoping one day I will fly
Please don’t be mistaken
I gave my mother things because she wasn’t smart to get an abortion
I walk around her body
memorizing what my children will never see for I HAVE KILLED MY MOMMY
I watch the polar bears and the penguins
Hoping one of them will not give in
I say to myself “just keep swimming”
Hoping they will find someone else’s mother to feed off of
Forgive me
For stabbing my mother in the breast
Who cares about the rest
As I slid the needle farther and farther in her chest
I hope you all can forgive me for not trying to revive her from the stress that I have caused her over the years
Forgive Me
For giving you all the plague that will kill you when this is over
Maybe next time I will listen and not shove that last piece of paper over my shoulder
