Forget to Be Kind
Your mother is naming you
after a song. She wants
you to follow the lyrics,
to live inspired
by the words. I hope
when you get here, and
you realize her actions
don’t reflect those words,
you decide for yourself
what songs you hear.

i don’t even know what my moms’ song is. it’s so vile to me. i don’t think she even knows what her own song is. love this poem.
