Tell the Kids
Crouching posture
Boy in the corner, sarcastic, detachment
Cuts me off quickly
Rosy cheeks
Flirting then flustered
Young blood with a fire for approval
Things are pretty shitty at the moment
You’re world
It’s crumbling
And you think you’re dying
But I see you
Kindly
Dined with over-achievers
Over done, over done
I was one
Her braids are tighter than the thread that holds her together
Young heart with a fire for approval
Things are pretty shitty at the moment
You’re world
It’s crumbling
And you think you’re dying
But I see you
Kindly
I see you
Kindly
You’re at work
Tired at work
In your absence
I’ll tell the kids
You’re at work
Tired at work
In your absence
I’ll tell the kids
You’re at work
Tired at work
In your absence
I’ll tell the kids
You’re at work
Tired at work
In your absence
I’ll tell the kids
I’ll tell the kids
We will be ok
Things are pretty shitty at the moment
You’re world
It’s crumbling
And you think you’re dying
But I see you
Kindly
I see you
