Two Halves of the Same Person
You, who haven't a clue.
What's this I'm telling you?
"The sky is blue."?
You've been behind walls so long
you never even knew.
What's this I tell you?
"There is a world out there
and it's full to the brim with people who actually care."
You only say,
"You mean to tell me
I can go go past these walls
through which I so blankly stare?"
My only reply being,
"Well of course you may, go get some fresh air."
Me with eyes that see.
Look at you.
Not a single clue.
It's been nearly half a century
and you mean to tell me,
you didn't even know what colour the sky was?!
What kind of life is that?
Where you don't even try!
You would do anything for him at the drop of a hat though.
Still unable to look your sons in their eyes.
What kind of mother can do that,
I don't really know.
Do YOU know the reason why?
The youngest sure won't,
but I'll keep giving it a try.
