i should spend more time with you
instead of wasting away in my room.
i'm so self-absorbed and it's rude
that for a second, i could even forget about you.
your existence matters.
you aren't dusty furniture
that we bought to impress
the friends who come over
and do not even notice.
because they are just as self-absorbed
as me
and you.
we should start listening to our elders,
they don't speak to hear themselves.
family matters.
we just let them waste away
thinking we have another
*******
day...
