when I was two
my mother told me not to lean over the chair
that she wouldn't help me if I hurt myself
because it was my fault for not listening
to her wise words
when I fell and broke my collarbone
she kissed me and took me to hospital
and aided me until I was healed

when I was four
my mother told me not to jump down the stairs
that she wouldn't help me if I hurt myself
because it was my fault for not listening to her wise words
when I fell and hit my head off the concrete
she kissed me and gave me a white pill
to numb the pain
and aided me until I was healed

when I was ten
my mother told me not to hit the walls when I was angry
that she wouldn't help me if I hurt myself
because it was my fault for not listening to her wise words
when I fractured my wrist
she kissed me and took me to hospital
and aided me until I was healed

when I was fourteen
my mother told me not to fall for you
that she wouldn't help me if you hurt me
because it was my fault for not listening to her wise words
when you broke my heart
she kissed me and dried my tears
and did all she could to heal me
