Serenity D'Nae Montgomery Poet I do not know?

Why Mom?

Why mom why?
Did you hit me and I start to cry?
Why mom why?
Did you tell dad to just go die?
Why mom why?
Did you take that first sip?
Why mom why?
Do you still do it after all these years?
why mom why?
Can't you see it hurts us all?
Why mom why?
Do you even drink at all?
Why mom why?
Can't you see it's killing you?
I wish you'd just stop,
and think it through.
