This isn't much of a poem But it's been weeks since I've slept well Thoughts that crowd my mind at this hour To the outside, I can never tell I have a pain in my chest And I fear the uncertainty That if I fall asleep tonight Tomorrow, what would become of me? What if I don't wake up? Or what if I wake up alone? Can I really make this life work Without the person I call home? Stay, please.

She grows up and realizes her parents are getting old. Suddenly, the kid who wanted to grow up so badly wishes she could be mommy's little girl again.
