smoking
she said
isn't good for your health

but I am not
listening to the words
she said

putting the cigarette
back into my mouth

crying
she said
isn't good for your eyes

but I am not
listening to the words
she said

starting to cry again
over the boy who left me

loving
she said
isn't good for your heart

but I am not
listening to the words
she said

I am still loving
but not the boy who left me

I am loving her
the woman who carried me 9 months
inside her

Dear momma,
worrying about me
I am saying
isn't your purpose in life

but she didn't
listen to the words
I said

so she still worries about me
