The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

She sits across from me in the car

Driving again, always driving

I avoid her for this reason

The reason she gives me now

She tells me of the troubles

We have with money

We don't have it

And we need it

And she's helpless.

 

I look out the window and half-listen

I don't want to hear how we're failing

How we're falling

And how hard it is to push on.

I don't want to know

 

It makes me want to cry

And to curl up and sigh

To tell the world so that they know

To tell you it hurts

Hurts to hear

Hurts my heart to listen to these tales

How I am brainwashed to succeed

As you tell me of your mistakes.

 

But you tell me also that you have no one to tell

In your weakness, I am strong

For that moment, a bit of satisfaction

I will be fine after all.

watching parents crumble seems to spur us not repeat their mistakes...almost involuntarily which is what i seem to hear you say in this.

For a moment I thought this and "Speaking" were one in the same, wondering why you posted it twice. Either way, both are very good. Makes one wonder.
