mothers know when their children
       are in pain
                   or if something is wrong
     even something significant
if that
             is so true
                                            why

           ­          don't you hear, or know
                                     that i cry every. night.
                     that i'm not sleeping well
       that i feel too sick to eat
               that i'm hurting all the time
                                   that i don't want to move from bed
                that i've acquired new scars
                                            that i'm in love

                                         why don't you know?
         or
                            do you know, and not care?

                                  its said that
                          mothers know when their
                                                children are in pain
                     or if something has changed
                                                 significant or not
