My friend mentioned her mother
She had said something rude
She said, ‘you should be happy’

Now this is coming from a mom who judges her child for being queer
And she expects her kid to be happy still

It’s coming from a mom who knows her child has depression
And she expects her kid to be gleeful still

It’s coming from a mom who forgot about her child’s birthday
And she expects her kid to be joyful still

One comment
Innocent enough
Can make someone lose themselves furthermore
In the dark caves of their brain

Be careful with your words
