Hypengyophobic Child

Hypengyophobic Child
Often people insist I’m lazy
Often they would ask about my goal
“I’m not sure… And I don’t care.”

I could hear the furious gossip
Behind closed doors
“You’re raising the most irresponsible brat ever”.

Mom ever so patient at least in appearance
I’m sure she thinks I’m a burden
“Why do you put up with me?”

Her love unconditional
Even when I’ve given up on myself
“My patience is running low”

Many times I’ve heard her say this
She never gives up on this walking failure
“Mom… Success is not for me”.

I’m turning older soon
I’ll give up soon
“And the fault… Remains purely mine”
