You're Going To Be Alright - Why Mommy?

-For the coolest 6 year old I know.

She always cries mommy.

She always yells at you,

At daddy,

At Jorge,

At Diana,

The dogs,

At me.

I know not what her problem is

But I know that she’s not okay.

She says she wants to die.

Why mommy?

Life is so spectacular

So magnificent

So lovely.

Is it because I use her crayons?

Or is it because I anger her?

Why mommy?

Why is she always so sad?

So angry,

So annoyed,

So tired?

Why does she have those scratches on her left arm?

Why mommy?

I don’t want her to die

I don’t want her to hate me

I don’t want her to leave us.

I want her to be okay.

I think she’s sick.

I want her to take medicine.

But not like the time she took too much medicine.

Maybe she’s trying really hard to get better

And that’s why she took all those pills.

But why mommy?

Why is she so sick?

Why does the illness make her angry?

Why mommy?

Why does my sister cry by the window?

Why does she spend more time with the dog than with us?

Why is she so angry at us?

Why is she so sad?

I just want to know,

Why mommy?
