I would be the repentant kind
the one who feels bad for a week
after screaming my head off
at my kid for not getting quadratic equations
I would be the hypocritical kind
the one who cares about saving earth but leaves all the lights and fans on in every room all day long
I would be the protective kind
the one who'd stop nurses and doctors and teachers,
from bullying my sick kid who doesn't look sick but is
I would be the overreacting kind
the one who'd slap the son if the sister cried
sure he must have done something
to her
and then become the repentant kind
see stanza 1
Everyday I am monster trying to unmake myself
