Your worth

1/24/09

So many times i tried to connect

but you turned away

so many times i tried to talk

but you laughed at me

so i'm giving up

this business of helping you grow up

you haven't shown your worth to me

because all of this work

to keep being friends

it's reaching a limit

i will only give so much effort

if all i get back in return is laughter

and petulance and stubbornness

if you won't grow up

it's not worth my time

or my life or my friendship
