"Take care of the house"
"Do their hair"
As long as its done
they don't care
I would be tired all day
and restless all night
but I did what I needed
with no fuss or fight
So I tried to care,
love, and clean
while I felt
stressed and mean
I tried by best
and thought ahead
I tried to hold my own
no matter what was said
I was a good student
never did I fail
I was "..a pleasure in class"
and had no suspensions in the mail
But you would rarely see
the honors bestowed on me
It didn't matter if I worked hard
If i took time to do my hair
You wouldn't see me
so I didn't care
Why didn't you show up
only if you knew
all of the memories
I wanted to share with you
All the student of the months
all the debates
all the silly honors
all my selfish dates
I wanted you to be there
but you were nowhere to be found
So I'll try harder until you attend
hoping you will come around
